Keches Law Group’s injury lawyers are proud to announce the fourth annual scholarship award program. This year we will award two $1,500 scholarships: one to a candidate pursuing an undergraduate or graduate college degree and one to a candidate entering trade school.  We strongly believe a good education is a factor of future success and know financial hurdles prevent many from pursuing their dreams.

Scholarship Essay Prompt

As we eclipse the two-year mark of the Coronavirus pandemic, many Americans realized they were not emotionally and/or financially prepared to endure a pandemic. Millions of workers unemployed either by choice or due to circumstances beyond their control were forced to rethink their path in life. Many people have had moments of reflection and have reinvented themselves personally and professionally. In 500 words or less, explain the single most important thing you learned about yourself, either personally or professionally, while on your own journey through this pandemic.
