Kanoski Bresney Stand up to Distracted Driving Scholarship

---

Distracted driving, including due to texting and other cell phone use, is a serious issue that leads to hundreds of thousands of accidents and injuries in the United States each year. The problem is especially prominent among teen and young adult drivers, and teens are also at a greater risk of being the victim of a distracted driving accident.

At Kanoski Bresney, we want to support students who do their part to fight the problem of distracted driving. Through the Kansoki Bresney Stand Up to Distracted Driving Scholarship program, we are offering five scholarships, in the amount of $1,000 each, to students in the U.S. who are pursuing higher education at the undergraduate or graduate level.

In order to be considered for the scholarship, you must submit a 1,000-word essay responding to the following prompt:

Your essay should be double-spaced, with 12-point font and one-inch margins, and saved as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file with a file name that includes your first and last name.

In addition to your essay, you will need to submit a current academic transcript, contact information including your name, phone number, address, and email address, and a professional photograph of yourself.

The deadline to apply is December 1, 2021

Applications will be judged by the attorneys and staff at Kanoski Bresney based on the following criteria:

Thoughtfulness and originality of the ideas

Organization, clarity, and writing mechanics of the essay

Adherence to the eligibility criteria and application instructions

The winners will be selected and notified by January 15, 2022, and Kanoski Bresney will coordinate with your college or university to submit your scholarship award. The winners must consent to the use of their name, essay, and likeness for Kanoski Bresney’s marketing and promotional purposes.

We are excited to announce the Fall 2021 recipients of the Kanoski Bresney Stand Up to Distracted Driving Scholarship! These five students were selected from more than 100 applicants, and we are honored to support them as they continue their education.
