Times are tough, and the costs of higher education have never been steeper. The Prosmushkin Law's $1000 Semi-Annual College Scholarship Program is intended to relieve a small amount of that financial burden, by subsidizing the costs of textbooks and supplies for one semester. The essay contest will be held twice a year, intended to provide financial support for the spring and fall semesters. Winners will be required to submit proof of enrollment in an accredited U.S. college or university in order to claim their prize. Applicants of all ages and areas of study are welcome to apply for the scholarship. The contest is open to community college students, undergraduates, and graduate students alike. Applications should be emailed directly to the firm. The body of the email must include the applicant's name, phone number, and the college/university they will be attending. Essays should be attached to the email, not included in the body, and should be in DOC or DOCX format. The Spring application deadline is December 17th and the Fall application deadline is July 17th. Please include "scholarship" in the subject. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
