Community involvement has been a pillar of Vito & Dollenmaier Law since the firm opened its doors. Our team of Schaumburg personal injury lawyers believes in paying it forward through volunteer work as well as charitable donations. Established in the Spring of 2023, the Vito & Dollenmaier Law Pay it Forward Scholarship provides $1,000 each semester to a college student who has a need for financial assistance.

By supporting high-achieving, compassionate students through this funding opportunity, we aim to continue making positive contributions to our communities. Investing in our youth is one of the many ways we hope to pay it forward.

Winners of the Vito & Dollenmaier Law Pay it Forward Scholarship will receive a check for $1,000 to be used toward tuition and other expenses associated with their undergraduate studies.
