Boyk Law Selects Purple Heart Recipient As 2025 Veteran Scholarship Winner
Charles E. Boyk Law, LLC has named Jimmion
Clayton, a U.S. Army National Guard veteran, as
the 2025 Boyk Law Veteran Scholarship recipient.
Clayton will receive $2,000 as part of the firm’s
annual initiative supporting U.S. veterans in their
educational pursuits.
Clayton joined the Army National Guard at 16
and served as a military police officer. He is a
combat-wounded Purple Heart recipient. As a First
Sergeant in the North Carolina National Guard’s
514th Military Police Company, he was deployed to
Afghanistan. He was injured in a suicide bomber attack that
killed several fellow soldiers and left him partially paralyzed.
After returning home, he worked with veteran social
services in North Carolina and is pursuing a master’s degree
in social work at Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville,
North Carolina.
Clayton’s application detailed his path as a father
and veteran. In his essay, Clayton described how
furthering his education will strengthen his work
with veterans and families.
“Jimmion’s application stood out for his drive
and focus on helping others,” said Charles Boyk,
founder of Charles E. Boyk Law Offices. “We started
this scholarship to invest in students who step up
in their schools and communities. We’re proud to
support his next steps.”
The firm’s scholarship honors student veterans and
qualifying family members who attend accredited
colleges or universities. Applicants are evaluated on
academics, community engagement, leadership,
and a personal essay outlining goals and impact.
Funds may be used for tuition or other
school-related expenses.
