What the sponsor says
Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Unfiled Tax Returns U.S Tax Court Litigation Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipient, Sahasra Paladugu! Read more about our previous winners here . Pontius Tax Law, PLLC is a proud supporter of U.S. Veterans. The firm’s founder, John Pontius, is a Veteran himself and is committed to honoring the military personnel who have served our country. Attorney Pontius started practicing law in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps with the 1st Armored Division in Germany and was later deployed to Iraq. Attorney Pontius also has experience supervising the IRS-sponsored military Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in Germany. There, he managed a team of eight employees and ensured the quality control of over 2,000 federal and 700 state tax returns for military service members. Due to Attorney Pontius’ close ties to the military, he has decided to create a scholarship specifically for Veterans or a U.S. veteran’s child. Pontius Tax Law believes Veterans are owed a huge debt for the service they have done for our country. We are seeking input from veterans or the children of veterans on ways that we, as a community, can better support them. We are also interested in hearing how being a Veteran or the child of a Veteran has impacted your life and changed your views. The deadline for this $1,000 scholarship is November 30, 2026 . If you are a Veteran or a child of a Veteran, please be sure to apply! Thank you to all those who have served and continue to serve our country.

Quoted from the page it was published on, word for word. This quote is cut off: we captured part of the sponsor's page, not all of it, so read the full text there before you apply. Where our summary above and this text disagree, this text is correct. Tell us and we'll fix the summary.
Our read on this award
4 figures we worked out, not the sponsor's. Free, and it takes an email address.
How these are worked out
- Our grade. From three facts the sponsor published. How few can apply: one high school or city 3 points, a county 2, the state 1, the whole country 0. How much it pays: $10,000 or more, or at least half of tuition, 3; $2,500 or more 2; $1,000 or more 1. Paid again in later years: 1. A is 4 points or more, B 3, C 2, D 0 or 1.
- How narrow the field is. Read from where the sponsor restricts it. An award open to one high school is competing against a graduating class.
- Value for the effort. The published amount divided by the 30 minutes the sponsor's own requirements take.
- Conditions to meet. The conditions the sponsor published, each listed under Who can apply. More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
- None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.
Remind me before this closes
We will email you a week before November 30, 2026, once. Nothing else unless you ask for it.
