Learn Here About Past Ehline Law Scholarship Winners And Writing Better Essays

So you are a student, perhaps pre-law or the law. Now more than ever, you are making the best efforts to study, improve your life, and still be able to eat right and exercise. And none of this is cheap. Schools are costly, and whether your degree will help remains questionable in this gig economy, right? However, you stayed after the task and maintained a 3.0 GPA or more significant.

Available Scholarships

Most of all, you are probably not rich, possibly even living off a mac and cheese diet. So you went ahead and started looking for grants and public and private academic scholarships and ended up on your college or school’s scholarships page. Many people, especially students, have limited time to spend entering contests. And when they do, they at least expect it to be a legitimate contest and not a waste of time.

Because of this, we created this section of our site to introduce you to some of our past essay contest winners and help give you confidence in your chances of winning some money to help further your education. For anonymity purposes, we will generally not include students’ first names. But we generally include a photo, a discussion of the contest they won, and the school, academic organization, or teacher they study under.

As we update our site, we may elect to include PDFs of essay winners. So stick around as we gather more information to aid you in your quest for education dollars.

Winner Of The 2023 Military Veterans Scholarship

Sadly, many schools are suspect of scholarships offered by private companies, so we had only a few contest entrants in 2022-2023, as many colleges are no longer adding scholarship opportunities to their websites.

Because of this, we only garnered entrants into the tort law and military veteran’s scholarship out of our three contests.

Congratulations to the 2023 Military Veteran’s Scholarship Winner – J. Fry – Who Is He?

J. Fry won his essay on “making battle equipment better to prevent brain and spine injuries.”  Fry attended the California State Bar Law Office Study Program, majoring in law. As a combat vet, Fry works with combat injury victims in his spare time to help them deal with PTSD and brain injuries. He was also a motorcycle accident victim, and he also suffered a brain injury in the second Gulf War.

Fry detailed how simple helmet design and ear protection improvements could help mitigate and prevent combat-related brain injuries, and we appreciate his efforts.

Congratulations to the 2022 Tort LawScholarshipp Winner – J. Vega – Who Is She?

J. Vega won handily with her hard-hitting essay on “improving the image of the personal injury profession.” Vega attended Cal State Fullerton, majoring in psychology. As a single mother of two, she works as a special education counselor assisting with special needs kids. She takes pride in comforting children with extra needs and making them feel unique about who they are. For example, she helps autistic children embrace and assimilate into the rest of the world. Her focus is on kids with disabilities. Having been involved in a car accident herself in the past, she was dealt a heavy blow by injury lawyers in the past in general.

She quickly identified their seeming tradition of not returning a simple phone call after their client signs on the dotted line. Ms. Vega drilled deep into the core issues of humanity and why lawyers must be taught legal “civic” in their primary and continuing legal education. Vega is the CEO of the Super Kids Store, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of parents’ duties to understand unique needs of kids.

Vega helps parents understand their children’s strengths and weaknesses. That way, each child can be tailor-educated for ultimate future success. Kids Superstore sells clothing and other items to help fund her projects and future endeavors as a special needs counselor. Here is a link to her Super Store Project. Ms. Vega was also entered into our legal training program intern runoff. She may be a great candidate for the California State Bar Law Office Study Program.

We are happy for Ms. Vega and wish her the best in helping others. Perhaps we will have her under us this summer? Only the future knows what entanglements her involvement with us can cause. But with excellent writing and humanitarian skills such as hers, we believe we made the right choice.
