Every year, Doctors Network starts the donation to the scholarship foundation with $15,000.00. We then match every outside donation to the foundation dollar for dollar for the first $15,000.00 in donations to reach the total of $45,000.00 for the year. Beyond the first $45,000.00, every dollar and every cent that is donated is entirely reimbursed to a student to assist in his or her education without taking away any administrative fees. Doctors Network takes on all of the administrative cost to ensure that every cent donated ends up in the right hands.
This is just the beginning. We plan to increase the size and scale of our foundation quickly and aggressively, and we count on and expect anyone who shares the same values as us to participate in any way possible, and that includes our local elected officials with their resources and our selfless and generous benefactors with their checkbooks.

At ABC Wildlife, we believe diversity is critical in every scientific field from biology to chemical engineering.
While women represent 48 percent of the American workforce, they make up only 13 percent of engineering professionals and a mere 7.2 percent in the field of mechanical engineering. Overall, women are critically underrepresented in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
As a woman-owned corporation operating in a largely male field, we understand the remarkable impact women can have. We want to pave the way for other women pursuing their dreams in the scientific world, which is why ABC Wildlife offers a scholarship designed to increase the number of women studying and influencing the future of science, including technology, engineering and math.

At Butler Kahn, we help people and families. We are Atlanta personal injury lawyers, and we fight against powerful interests like insurance companies and huge corporations on behalf of people who have been injured or killed. It is not easy work. Every day we confront adversaries with vast resources who want to get out of compensating our clients. When we win, we feel like we made the world a little bit better, especially for our client.
We love to make a difference. When our firm was a part of the team that won a $150 million verdict against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and forced a recall of exploding SUVs, we knew our product liability case made families safer. When we cross-examine a trucking company executive about truckers who operate their tractor-trailers too long, too fast, or too recklessly, we incentivize the truck companies to think more carefully about safety. When we take an insurance company to trial in a car accident case, that insurance company learns something about what happens when it doesn’t compensate injured people after a collision. When we help victims of sexual assault or rape stand up to their attackers, we empower victims to take their lives back.
But those aren’t the only ways to make a difference. We want to help you make the world better in YOUR way. Your way may be less confrontational than ours. It may take place in another country. It may involve technology, or connecting people, or educating others. Or maybe your way doesn’t fit into any category we can imagine.
How to Apply for the $1000 Scholarship
Create a 2-10 minute long video that explains:
what you want to do to make the world a better place,
how you plan to do it, and
one or more GREAT aspects of your plan.
Upload your video to YouTube.
Don’t be afraid to stand out! We love standouts.
