Getting a good education is unfortunately not easily accessible for everyone. There are many factors that can cause one to have a better or worse education than others. Students without access to proper supplies and technology are disadvantaged. Our team at Roach Law Car Accident Lawyers strongly believes that everyone deserves to have access to a good, if not great education.
This year, Roach Law Car Accident Lawyers is proud to once again announce the Education Matters Scholarship. This scholarship was created to encourage students to delve into America’s education system and gain a better understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. In the last few years, the shift to online learning has shone more light on how our educational system works, and the cracks in it.
We’re asking students to use their own personal experiences to discuss both the issues and the successes in the American education system. Students should also detail realistic ways in which the education system could be improved and why those improvements would be beneficial to people across the country.
The scholarship winner will be chosen based on the criteria outlined below and will be awarded $5,000 to go towards their higher education.
