Schechter, Shaffer & Harris, LLP Accident and Injury Attorneys are excited to announce the Who Inspires You Scholarship, awarding $1,000 to a student with a passionate story about who has inspired them most.

Throughout life, we are often blessed with someone who inspires us through their words or actions, directly or indirectly. Having someone who inspires you helps you continue striving and improving, whether in academics, hobbies, or any aspect of life. Whoever it is, a parent, grandparent, older sibling, celebrity, or sports star. There is value in reflecting on the people and relationships that inspired you to be who you are now.
