Silverman Law Office awards Legal Helper Scholarships to two students
Silverman Law Office has announced Ethan Gilpin of Bozeman, Montana, and Dylan Schoenbrod of Clovis, California, as the 2026 recipients of its annual Legal Helper Scholarships. Each student will receive a $1,000 award in recognition of their dedication to public service and commitment to expanding access to legal support.

Ethan Gilpin recently completed an internship with the Max S. Baucus Institute and is the owner and chief consultant of Project Insight, advising Bozeman businesses on strategy, finance, and compliance. After earning dual degrees in economics and business finance from Montana State University, he plans to attend law school and pursue class-action litigation to help Montanans protect their rights.

Dylan Schoenbrod, an international business major at Pepperdine University, works as a file storage manager for a law firm in California and serves as a peer mentor, helping students navigate school policies and conflict resolution. He plans to study law with a focus on public interest and legal aid work.
“Ethan and Dylan exemplify the values this scholarship was created to honor,” said Joel Silverman, CEO of Silverman Law Office. “Their proactive efforts to assist others and their clear-sighted educational goals are commendable. We are proud to support their journeys as they prepare to make a significant, positive impact within the legal field and beyond.”
