The members of the Ward & Ward Personal Injury Lawyers Scholarship Committee would like to extend their thanks to each person who submitted an essay for the Safer Roads Scholarship―providing their thoughts and time to the subject matter. Each applicant’s essay brought a unique perspective to the problems associated with distracted driving. It is our sincere hope that every participating student will pass the lessons taken from this experience onto their family members, acquaintances, and friends, saving lives and sparing the friends and families of injured and deceased victims from the heartaches caused by distracted driving behaviors.

If you have been injured by a distracted driver, contact an Auto Accident Lawyers Indianapolis, IN residents recommend from the Ward & Ward Personal Injury Lawyers today.

Background

The Center for Disease Control estimates that nine people in the United States die every day in motor vehicle accidents caused by a distracted driver. Texting while driving is a key factor–unnecessary and avoidable–that causes the majority of distracted driving wrongful deaths. The National Institute of Health (NIH) found that of 101,000 plus teenagers surveyed, nearly 40 percent had texted or sent an e-mail while driving at least once in the past 30 days; the older the driver, the more likely he or she was to text while driving.

Prompt

Respond to the following in an essay of 750 words or less:

You have a close friend who routinely drives distracted—posting, texting, emailing from his or her smartwatch or cell phone. Make a persuasive argument to your friend that may put an end to their distracted driving habits before an auto accident with serious bodily injuries or the wrongful death of an innocent child or adult occurs.

Eligibility Criteria

This scholarship is open to any student who is currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate, graduate, or professional program in the United States. This includes accredited community college students as well as high school seniors and students who possess a GED who have been accepted to or are enrolled in an accredited program.
The scholarship applicant must be dedicated to civil service and promoting equality and able to demonstrate this commitment via their essay response.
All eligible candidates must be in good academic standing with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 or above.
