‘Words to be Heard’ scholarships available
The ninth annual “Words to be Heard” Scholarship Contest, sponsored by Edgar Snyder & Associates, is open to high school seniors in Western Pennsylvania.
The law firm, which helps injured people, is asking seniors to create programs that will prevent their peers from underage drinking, drunken driving or distracted driving. Students can submit entries using a number of creative options, including videos, PowerPoint presentations, brochures, websites, essays or any other approach they feel will effectively get the message across to their classmates.
A panel of outside judges will review the submissions and award one grand prize scholarship of $10,000, a second-place scholarship of $3,000 and a third-place scholarship of $2,500.
Since the scholarship contest’s inception in 2007, the law firm has awarded 70 scholarships totaling more than $100,000.
High schools seniors entering the contest must plan to attend a four-year college or university in the summer or fall of 2015. All submissions must be postmarked on or before March 27, 2015, to be eligible.
