Metzger Wickersham Opens 2025 ‘Road To Safety’ Scholarship Contest
Submissions Welcome for More Than $2,200 in Scholarship Prizes
(January 29, 2025, Harrisburg, PA) – Metzger Wickersham, one of Pennsylvania’s oldest personal injury law firms, announced today it is accepting submissions for its Road to Safety Scholarship Contest. The annual competition invites Pennsylvania high school seniors to submit creative projects that remind drivers of the dangers of driving under the influence or while distracted.
The firm welcomes students to apply their creativity to posters, billboard designs, paintings or drawings, digital designs, videos, songs, or other projects that encourage their peers to drive safely. The submissions may be made through the contest website, www.ArriveAlivePA.com. The submission deadline is April 15.
Firm officials will review all entries and award a $1,000 scholarship to the first-place winner, $750 to the second-place winner, and $500 to the third-place winner.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation reported that alcohol-related crashes accounted for nearly 40 percent of the commonwealth’s traffic fatalities in 2023. That same year, distracted driving led to more than 11,000 crashes on Pennsylvania roads, more than 60 of which resulted in a fatality. To help prevent these crashes, Pennsylvania’s Distracted Driving Law, known as Paul Miller’s Law, will take effect June 5 and prohibit drivers from using interactive mobile devices while driving.
“After decades of helping injured people, we know how a car crash caused by drunk or distracted driving can devastate a victim and their family, friends, and community,” said attorney Clark DeVere, managing shareholder of Metzger Wickersham. “For more than 10 years now, we have asked high school seniors to help emphasize the importance of driving safely, and we look forward to seeing what the talented young people in our area contribute to that effort this year.”

Tips for Success for Applying for TFEC Scholarships:
Make sure you are submitting all required materials.
Gather all required supplemental materials before you click submit so that it is easier to access and know what you need.
Request references EARLY! Make sure you can ask them if you can use them for multiple scholarships. Ask for one original copy for each scholarship.
Complete the FAFSA and save your Student Aid Report (SAR). Each TFEC scholarship (and others may also) requires that you attach your SAR in it's entirety and must include the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). The SAR is NOT the Summary Report. Confirmation emails will not be accepted.
Most Deadlines are March 1st through April 15th. Plan time for mailing!!!

If you are having difficulty finding scholarships, don't be discouraged check with your current work place, parents/guardians work places, any organization you or family members are affiliated with, banking institutions, the college/university you plan to attend, grandparents or other family members, churches, and any business that is in your intended career field.
