Persevering Through Injury Scholarship

Champlain Valley Law is excited to announce the 2020 Persevering Through Injury Scholarship. At Champlain Valley Law, we understand what it is like to deal with serious injuries, and we work daily with individuals who have suffered them. The perseverance, mental fortitude, and resilience required to overcome such a challenge are some of the most admirable qualities that can be possessed.

We believe that those who overcome significant injuries are sources of inspiration. Do you have someone in your life who has battled back from a serious injury? If so, we want to hear from you. In a 750-1,000 word essay, describe someone who you look up to who used perseverance, mental fortitude, and resilience to overcome a significant injury. Would you consider them a hero? What traits do they possess that you believe helped them overcome their injury?

We will award one $1,000 scholarship to the student we feel best answers the above prompt. Eligibility requirements and instructions for how to submit an application are below.
