Who Inspires You Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Schechter, Shaffer & Harris, LLP Accident and Injury Attorneys
Schechter, Shaffer & Harris, LLP Accident and Injury Attorneys proudly present the Who Inspires You Scholarship. One student will receive a $1,000 award for sharing a heartfelt story about the person who has inspired them most.
We all encounter people whose words, actions, or example push us to grow—sometimes directly, sometimes from afar. Whether that influence comes from a parent, grandparent, older sibling, mentor, public figure, or athlete, reflecting on those relationships helps explain who we are and who we hope to become. Schechter, Shaffer & Harris, LLP invites students to tell the story of someone who has shaped their journey and will celebrate one outstanding reflection with this scholarship.
