Personal injury law firm Mishkind Kulwicki Law Co., LPA has announced the creation of its Helping Victims Scholarship, a $1,000 award aimed at students who share the firm's commitment to supporting individuals harmed by negligence, recklessness, or malicious actions. The scholarship is open to students from any academic discipline, reflecting the firm's belief that helping victims extends beyond the legal profession.
According to the firm, a victim in personal injury law is someone who has suffered physical or psychological harm due to another party's wrongful conduct. Attorney Howard D. Mishkind emphasized the firm's dedication to its clients, stating, "We feel fortunate to do the work we do. We take pride in shouldering our clients' legal burdens so they can focus on healing and getting back to the way their lives were before they suffered an unnecessary injury or loss."
The scholarship recognizes that professionals in fields such as social work, counseling, medicine, advocacy, and public policy also play crucial roles in helping victims rebuild their lives. Attorney David A. Kulwicki noted, "The more people who are out in the world doing good to help victims in need, the better and more compassionate the world will be. We want to support the education of a goal-oriented student with a passion for helping others."
Interested students can find full eligibility requirements and application materials on the scholarship page of the firm's website. All applications must be submitted by March 31, 2027, via email to dkulwicki@mishkindlaw.com. The winner of the $1,000 scholarship will be announced in May 2027.
