The Platta Law Firm Students with Disabilities Scholarship

Growing up with a disability comes with ample challenges that can beset one’s dreams of attaining a higher education. The Platta Law Firm represents everyday workers that develop disabilities as a result of unfortunate accidents. A disability can take away a worker’s faculty to provide for their family, let alone pay for their child’s college tuition. That is why we are awarding a $5,000 scholarship to make someone’s journey through school a little easier.

Eligibility

The scholarship is open to high-achieving students who meet three key criteria:

1. Medical record of disability.
2. Applicant must be an enrolled student at an accredited college, university, or high school in the United States.

Essay

Additionally, applicants should submit an essay on one of the topics listed below with a 600-word count minimum and 1,200 word maximum.

• Tell us about a time that your disability became an obstacle for you and how you overcame it.
• Is there anyone with your disability that serves as a role model? Explain how and why.
• How can the United States government improve learning conditions for students with your disability?
