New York State supports various industries, all of which pose dangers to employees. As students enter the professional workforce, O’Connor Law wants them to consider what steps they can take to make their workplace safer. With that goal in mind, our New York Workers’ Compensation lawyers are proud to debut a new scholarship program.

Students have the opportunity to apply for O’Connor Law’s Increasing New York Workplace Safety Scholarship beginning this year. The scholarship selection committee looks forward to awarding the $2,500 scholarship to a student with a proven record of academic success and community dedication.
