Applications Open for Fall 2024 Scholarships
At James Kennedy Law, we help our clients put up a tough fight against drunk drivers and other negligent parties who are responsible for their injuries. We know that it takes strength and resolve to overcome the effects of an accident with a drunk driver. With our One Tough Student Scholarship, we want to support college students who have been impacted by drunk driving and who want to join the fight against drunk driving in our society.
Each semester, we offer a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 to a student in need. The funds can be used for tuition and other educational expenses at a college or university anywhere in the United States.
