2024 Who Inspires You Scholarship Winner: Porter Jones
Biography: My name is Porter Jones, and I live in Southern Utah. I am currently a Senior at Enterprise High School and a Utah Tech CE student. After high school I hope to go to BYU to receive my bachelors. I haven’t chosen a major yet, but the plan right now is to later get into BYU’s law program and decide what to do from there. Before all that though, my first priorities are to go on a 2 year mission for my church, and then start preparing for a family.
Reaction Statement: I’m quite excited to have such a large sum of money help me towards my schooling. I’m actually wanting to go to Law school so Schechter, Shaffer, & Harris LLP really helped me in reaching this goal. I am currently on track to graduate from Utah Tech with my Associates, and then I’ll be able to transfer to BYU where I will hopefully be able to make it into their law school. Thank you Schechter, Shaffer, & Harris LLP for giving me such a neat opportunity.

I currently go to Marshall Law and Medical Services High School and have been studying under their EMT program. I plan to major in Biology and go to Medical School right after college.

Everything moved so fast, one second I was reading my emails and the next I was jumping up and down. The only person I think was more excited than me was my mom, who sends me scholarships to complete every other day. I couldn’t be more grateful for this scholarship and the help it will provide to fund my college education. Huge thank you to everyone who read it and liked it, it means more to me than you could ever imagine!
