Defining the Disability Scholarship
The attorneys at the Berkowitz Hanna Malpractice and Injury Lawyers understand the challenges faced by disability, whether it is directly caused by an injury or not. Disabilities go beyond a medical definition and cause daily challenges in the life of many. We believe strongly in giving back to our community and do not want to see students give up on their dreams. Because of this, we are excited to offer a $1,000 scholarship to help one student living with a disability pay for college.
The Defining the Disability Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship available to students who meet the scholarship eligibility requirements below and who can best describe in a 750-1,000 word essay: how can we define disability in the modern world versus its medical definition? While defining what disability means to you, explain how disability has been part of your life, whether it’s affected someone you know or has had a personal effect.
