Christensen Law, which represents victims of automobile and truck accidents, is offering a $2,500 scholarship to one student in an attempt to raise awareness and impact the number of distracted driving accidents in 2016.
The firm has represented clients who have suffered severe injuries from collisions that, according to the firm, might have been avoided had the driver not looked down at their phone while driving.
The $2,500 scholarship contest is open to anyone in the United States who is pursuing post-secondary education at an accredited college or university.
Proof of enrollment is required.
The scholarship is open to every major or degree.
A check for the full amount will be made payable to the recipient’s college or university and the student will be expected to submit receipts in accordance with IRS regulations.
Students are to write an essay (maximum of 2,000 words) about how distracted driving impacted their life.
The essay can be a personal story, a campaign they’ve been involved in, an article reference or fiction or non-fiction story.
The scholarship application and essay must be postmarked by July 15.
A decision will be rendered and a winner will be notified by Aug. 1.
Essays and completed application should be emailed to scholarship@davidchristensenlaw.com or mailed to:
