Keches Law Group’s injury lawyers are proud to announce the first annual scholarship award program.  We strongly believe a good education is a factor of future success and know there are financial hurdles that prevent many from pursuing their dreams.

In 500 words or less, we want to hear about how you think innovations in technology and/or medicine could help prevent accidents or accelerate recovery from injuries.  Feel free to connect your own experience with an injury, if applicable.
