The attorneys at the Berkowitz Hanna Malpractice and Injury Lawyers understand the challenges faced by disability, whether it is personal or not. Disabilities go beyond a medical definition and cause daily challenges in the life of many. We are excited to offer a $1,000 scholarship to help a student overcome a disability.
At Berkowitz Hanna Malpractice and Injury Lawyers, we have experienced how a disability could affect the daily life of someone. We understand that defining disabilities goes beyond a medical definition. We believe strongly in giving back to our community and do not want to see students give up on their dreams because of disability.
The Defining the Disability Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship available to students who meet the scholarship eligibility requirements below and who best describe in a 750-1,000 word essay what discusses how to define disability in the modern world versus its medical definition?
