Sport Injury Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Bence Law Firm

Recovering from an injury after an accident can be long and difficult. At Bence Law, we fight to compensate those wrongly injured in an accident. That’s why we understand and emphasize the struggles of injury recovery. Overcoming these challenges takes the victim’s high level of determination and courage. That is why we are proud to announce our 2023 Sport Injury Scholarship. 

We are looking for incoming college students or graduates who have overcome a physical injury for this scholarship. In 750-1000 words, tell us about a time you were injured during a physical or other recreational activity and how you overcame that injury. The deadline is February 28, 2023. One student will receive an award of $1,000.
