The Law Offices of James A. Welcome is proud to feature Oslo Schaller, a 2024 Welcome Law Firm Scholarship recipient.

“No matter what happens though, I am very optimistic about the future, and this scholarship from the Welcome Law Firm is yet another testament to that. So thank you so much to the Welcome Law Firm for believing my ambitions, my achievements and character were worth the time and support.”

After graduating from high school in 2019, Oslo started studying Music Education at the University of New Hampshire. He soon realized it wasn’t the right choice for him and decided to leave the program. This decision led to a tough time. In 2022, Oslo took a major step to turn things around with an 83-day road trip across the United States. This trip was crucial in helping him find his direction and passion again, motivating him to go back to school. Now, he’s doing well in community college, earning high grades and taking on leadership roles. He’s involved in the Alpha Nu Epsilon Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and helps other students as part of the Peer2Peer mentoring program.

Looking ahead, Oslo plans to graduate with an associate’s degree in Spring 2025. He’s also thinking about studying Political Science further, possibly at a local university or even moving to Oregon. He’s open to exploring different career options in the future, showing his flexible and positive outlook.

Oslo’s story highlights the power of persistence, getting the right support, and finding oneself. The Law Offices of James A. Welcome is proud to support his educational goals and future plans. Congrats, Oslo!
