Scholarships

Be aware that scholarships sent directly to the college are often deducted from your financial aid award and thus help the college but not you. Some colleges don't do this, but some do. Here's an article about this invidious practice: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-tMwBbDRdsYZF32DhVyFwJG09PSqhy5RlpB2NgZZRuU/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs

Important Note: Never pay to sign up for scholarship: it's a sign it's a rip-off!

How to Apply

Students who want the scholarship selection committee to consider their applications must:

Meet the scholarship’s aforementioned eligibility criteria
Complete the application form on this page
Upload a copy of their unofficial transcripts
Add a link to their unlisted, YouTube-published video essays
Upload proof of academic enrollment, such as a letter of acceptance or student ID

Scholarship Video Topic

The team with Koffel Law wants today’s college students to think critically about the various applications of the law in criminal court. With that in mind, the firm wants students applying for the Moral Responsibility and the Application of Law Scholarship to answer the following question:

What is an attorney’s moral responsibility in the application of the law?

Students can include societal or personal examples to elaborate on their points. The videos students submit must be somewhere between 1 and 3 minutes in length. Students should edit their videos before publishing them as unlisted YouTube videos. Students can then submit links to those unlisted videos when filling out their applications.

Information About Video Editing and AI Use

Students can enhance their videos using media editing tools, such as Adobe Creative Cloud, but Koffel Law does not require applicants to do so. The scholarship committee will focus on the content of the applicant’s video and other materials.

While students can use AI to generate B-roll footage, the text and story in their videos must be original. Using AI platforms to generate the video’s script, create false voices, or include fake actors could result in automatic disqualification. The video’s core footage should also not be AI-generated.

Scholarship Deadline

Students have until August 31, 2026, to submit their applications to Koffel Law. The firm will not accept applications submitted after this date or applications submitted without all of their essential materials.

Terms and Conditions

All applicants to this scholarship must meet the eligibility requirements as laid out on the scholarship application page, including:

Applicant must be enrolled at a college, university, or graduate school
Applicant must be at least 18 years old at the age of enrollment
Applicant must have residency in the United States
Applicant must be in good academic standing
Applicant must submit some personal information, including name, contact information, and proof of enrollment.
Applicant must author an original video on the scholarship topic provided.

Anyone who meets the following conditions is NOT eligible to apply:

Employees or children of employees of Koffel Law
Past recipients of the Moral Responsibility and the Application of Law Scholarship
Applicants who are unable/unwilling to be interviewed by a representative of Koffel Law if they were to be awarded a scholarship.
Applicants who submit the same video for multiple years in a row or for multiple scholarships

Selection & Award Notification Process

Students who want Koffel Law to consider them for the scholarship award must submit their applications by the submission deadline. The firm will not award scholarships to students who miss this deadline or who fail to submit all necessary materials along with their applications.

After the submission period closes, the scholarship selection committee reserves up to three months to choose a winner. This period might be extended depending on the number of applications received. Age, race, religion, gender, national origin, familial status, or other protected classes will have no influence on the committee’s decision.

The firm cannot answer questions about the scholarship or the winner selection process submitted through any medium. Likewise, the firm will only communicate with its scholarship recipient. Students and their families can keep an eye on the firm’s website for updates about a winner.

Upon selecting a winner, the scholarship selection committee will work with the student and their university of choice to apply the scholarship funds to the winner’s education.

Cyberbullying Awareness Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,000 Awards Available: 1

Award Deadline: Aug 31, 2026

Michael McCready is a family man by default. Being a family man, Michael stays very involved in his children’s lives, and as they have grown, he has seen the massive impact cyberbullying can have on individuals, their friends, and especially their peers. Cyberbullying is much more comprehensive than what we consider “traditional” bullying. With the copious amount of technology at our fingertips, children are gaining access to devices and social forums at a much younger age. This enables cyberbullying to affect children and teenagers 24/7 on a variety of media platforms, not just in your immediate community but in online communities where participants are from all over the world. Everyone can help prevent cyberbullying by raising awareness. The personal injury attorneys at McCready Law have established a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 for a student who is passionate about this issue. Cyberbullying is prevalent and at times can seem unstoppable, so how can we effectively raise awareness to promote prevention?

Eligibility

The scholarship is open to any current high school senior, vocational student, college student or graduate student who is a legal resident of the United States residing in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and who is enrolled in a vocational program or two to four year post-secondary institution.
Employees of McCready Law Injury Attorneys, their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households of such individuals (whether related or not), are not eligible to participate in the competition.
Candidates for this scholarship should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher and be in good overall academic standing.

Application Requirements

The candidate must submit a 750-1,000-word essay response to the prompt: Cyberbullying is increasingly affecting children and teenagers across digital platforms. Describe how it impacts individuals and communities, and explain specific, practical ways awareness and prevention efforts can reduce harm and create safer online environments.
Please note that all essays will be checked for AI writing. If AI writing is deemed present in the essay, the application will be denied.
The candidate must submit a professional resumé that lists their experience, both professional and academic.
The candidate must submit a transcript from their current school. First-year college students, graduate students, or individuals who have recently transferred schools may submit an unofficial transcript from their current school, as well as the most recent official transcript from their prior school. High school students can submit proof of acceptance to their college or university.
Preference will be given to students either from or attending secondary school in the state.
The recipient of the Cyberbullying Awareness Scholarship will be chosen during the month following the scholarship deadline.

W. Tong and A.C. Wong Legacy Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $5,000. Awards Available: 4

Award Deadline: Sep 6, 2026

Education is incredibly important and valuable, especially for low-income immigrant families seeking out the opportunity for a better future.

Immigrating often brings about financial struggles as a family starts a new life from scratch, often with no sources of help. As a result, young students often have to be incredibly hardworking and dedicated to get the same opportunities that their peers enjoy.

My late wife and I are children of immigrants who instilled the value of hard work, saving money and education. With the help of scholarships, we were in turn able to send our only son to a four year college without any student debt.

This scholarship seeks to support students with financial need as they pursue their goals of higher education in order to create the life of their dreams.

Any low-income high school senior with at least a 3.5 GPA who is from an immigrant family may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they are of at least 50% Southeast Asian descent and if they will be a first-generation college student. However, students pursuing STEM, those with community service experience, applicants with part-time work history, and those who display leadership are preferred.

To apply, please tell us about yourself and how your experience as a Southeast Asian immigrant has affected your goals. Additionally, upload a headshot.
