Making an Impact Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Kaine Law
As a personal injury law firm, we believe in helping the injured in our local communities get the compensation they need to rebuild their lives after an accident. That is how we chose to make a positive impact on our community, but we want to recognize how students have helped improve their communities, and we want to reward them for their efforts.
The Making an Impact Scholarship is for students wishing to continue their education and reward them for the volunteer work they have done. Whether you helped clean up trash from a park, prepped food for the homeless, or donated your time at a hospital, we want to hear from you and recognize you for your good works. Through our $1,500 scholarship, we hope to encourage you to continue your education and your efforts at helping your local community.
