Michigan Auto Law is now accepting applications for the 2026 Michigan Auto Law Car Accident Injury Survivor Scholarship. The annual $1,000 scholarship honors college students across the United States who were innocent victims of car accidents and have demonstrated remarkable courage and perseverance while continuing their education.
“Each year, we hear stories of inspiring young people who have overcome tremendous obstacles after serious car accidents,” stated Steve Gursten, attorney and owner of Michigan Auto Law. “As auto accident attorneys, we created this scholarship based on our own experience helping innocent crash victims.

This scholarship serves as a meaningful way for the auto accident attorneys at Michigan Auto Law to honor the bravery of innocent automobile crash survivors as they continue to courageously persevere though medical recoveries and pursue higher education.
