We are profoundly impacted physically and mentally by injuries, whether minor or severe. Injuries are another source of stress, especially for students trying to recover from their injuries while attending an academic institution. For this reason, Stolzenberg Cortelli LLC has created the Accident Relief Scholarship to help students who have been impacted by a traumatic accident.
The Accident Relief Scholarship is intended to provide financial assistance to help students recovering from injuries while attending higher education. Students are invited to share a story about an injury they received due to an auto accident, playing a sport, distracted driving, dangerous product, or any other way, and how it has affected their daily lives and education.
