Investor Advocacy Scholarship

Ponzi schemes and other investment frauds continue to plague retail investors. These schemes increasingly involve complex products and investments including stocks, bonds, real estate and crypto currency. The team at Securities Fraud Attorneys believes that shareholders deserve absolute transparency from the companies that they invest in, especially about the costs, risks and people involved in the investment. Additionally, we think that investors should be well-educated on potential warning signs to look out for when deciding where to put their hard-earned money and the way many disputes are resolved including class action litigation, securities arbitration and SEC whistleblower claims. Securities Fraud Attorneys is led by Scott Silver, a passionate investor advocate and nationally recognized securities and investment fraud attorney. As chair of the Securities Fraud Group for the American Association of Justice and a board member of PIABA (Public Investors Advocate Bar Association), Scott routinely lobbies for investor rights. A member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Lawyers, Martindale Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating, Scott and his team has recovered millions of dollars for defrauded investors through class action litigation, securities arbitration and SEC whistleblower claims. For these reasons, along with the fact that investment opportunities are becoming more readily accessible to younger people every year, we are proud to announce the 2026 Investor Advocacy Scholarship! This is a single, $1,000 scholarship that will be awarded to a current or incoming college student who passionately believes in advocating for and educating investors.
