Local Law Firm Awards Scholarships To East Hampton Graduates

EAST HAMPTON, NY — A well-known local law firm has continued its tradition of giving back to industrious students devoted to helping others.

Twomey, Latham, Shea, Kelley, Dubin & Quartararo LLP announced the recipients of its 2018 Community Service Scholarships Thursday night at East Hampton High School’s award ceremony.

This year’s winners are Rudolph DeSanti, of East Hampton, and Maya Schultz, of Amagansett.

Maya has volunteered with Paddlers for Humanity, an East Hampton based all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to bettering children’s lives, a release said.

Maya hopes to train this summer to do the Block Island Challenge before she heads to Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where she will be majoring in international business.

Rudolph has participated in many community service projects for several school organizations, as well as on his own. The project he is most proud of, he said, was helping the East Hampton Middle School PTA give a makeover to the interior courtyard at the school. He had just graduated from the middle school the prior year, and the project, he said, was his way of giving back and ensuring that younger students had the possibility to have as many great memories and positive experiences there as he'd had.

Rudolph will be attending Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI. Each scholarship recipient received a $1,000 check to help with college expenses.
