AccidentAttorneys.org is offering a $1,000 scholarship for current law school students and pre-law college or university students planning to attend law school!
Our attorneys value education and helping those in need. It’s why we’ve been involved with charitable work since our inception and it’s part of the reason we are now offering a $1,000 scholarship contest to eligible students.
We know that school can be a significant expense. It can also be a dangerous place. That’s why we’d like to see you help others.
Video Topic
In an effort to promote safety education and prevent accidents, we’re asking YOU to create and submit a 1-3 minute video about safety issues on campus.
Topics can include fire safety awareness on campus, pedestrian safety for university students, the dangers of distracted driving, or any other area of safety you think would apply to college and law school students.
Videos will be scored based on:
- Safety Recommendations – Are your recommendations safe and sound?
- Creativity – Was the topic or message presented in a creative way?
- Craftsmanship – Was the video editing or production done at level of quality you’d expect from a college and/or law school student?
- Social Media Shares – Are you able to capture people’s attention?
