The Rocky McElhaney Law Firm is proud to announce that Nicole Goldbaugh of Wheeling, West Virginia is the 2015 recipient of the first annual Max McElhaney Memorial Educational Scholarship. The $2500 award will help Ms. Goldbaugh continue her schooling in Early Elementary Education."What an incredible young woman Nicole is,” said firm founder Rocky McElhaney. “She’s bright and hungry, and so excited to learn and to impart knowledge. Her story about the ‘gold standard of love’ really touched me and all of us, because she has been through so much as this young age, and yet finds strength and honor in that love. Nicole is really an extraordinary young woman with a lot of give, and we are truly honored to help her pursue her dreams.”
