"The best motivation in life is knowing what you're fighting for." - Cat Zingano
When Cat was in her early twenties and attending college, her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. Her declining health was very difficult on Cat’s family, and when she passed in 2005, Cat had a lot to work through, making it difficult to focus on her education. Less than a year later, Cat’s son was born. Raising a newborn and going to school after recently losing her mom, Cat needed help and remains truly grateful for all support and resources that were made available to her.
After school and finding much success in her early MMA career, Cat suffered another tragic loss. When her husband, who had helped guide her career, died in 2014, it was devastating and a very unexpected adjustment. He was a husband, employer, father and coach. Nothing has been the same for Cat and her son since that loss. They continue to feel the struggle, and the familial change still forces them to make accommodations every day. Just as Cat did after losing her mom, her and her son have no choice but to adapt and move forward.
These tragedies have caused Cat to focus on what matters most in her life: raising her son. Whether in an MMA bout or facing daily challenges, she fights through to show him that one can't let hardship conquer their life and that a new normal can be obtained after tragedy.
Cat is an inspiration to many for the fight she displays in all aspects of her life. The Cat Zingano Overcoming Loss Scholarship will be awarded to a student who is fighting through their own loss of a close family member, legal guardian or loved one, and is in need of financial support for their education as they move forward.

At BK Law Group, we believe a strong work ethic is essential in life. Good things don’t happen by accident. Hard work, dedication, and focus create the best results! While this can take time, delayed gratification can be the most rewarding feeling in the end! Today, people often seek to finish something or see results as fast as possible. However, that usually won’t lead to the best feasible outcome. If you aren’t willing to stay disciplined and put in the work needed to see a project through, you can’t expect it to be at its fullest potential. Hard work doesn’t come easily. It is a product of forming good habits and having determination.
That is why we proudly announce our annual Strong Work Ethic Scholarship! We want to hear about a specific time you utilized your strong work ethic. Tell us what the task was, how you stayed motivated, and what the outcome was. Tell us how the results would have been different had you not persevered through the entire task to see it to its completion. What motivated you to give 110%? We can’t wait to hear your story about the hard work you’ve put into something important to you! The winner will receive $1,000 to put toward their education!
Eligibility
• The Strong Work Ethic scholarship is open to any current high school senior, college student, or graduate student who is a legal resident of the United States residing in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and enrolled in a two to five-year post-secondary institution.
• Employees of BK Law Group, their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households as such individuals (whether related or not), are not eligible to participate in the competition.
• Candidates for this scholarship should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher and be in good overall academic standing.
Application Requirements:
Candidates must submit a 750 – 1,000 word essay response to the prompt: Tell BK Law about a specific time in your life when you utilized your strong work ethic.
• Tell us what the task was, how you stayed motivated, and what the outcome was.
• Please note that all essays will be checked for AI writing. If AI writing is deemed present in the essay, the application will be denied.
• Candidates must submit a professional resumé that lists their professional and academic experience.
• Candidates must submit an official or unofficial transcript from their current school. First-year college students, graduate students, or individuals who have recently transferred schools may submit an unofficial transcript from their current school and the most recent official transcript from their prior school.
