Marks & Harrison received many insightful, creative, and impactful scholarship applications. Our firm reviewed essays from high school and college students with ideas on how to prevent drunk driving. They submitted essays and videos answering the question, “What can we do to prevent driving distractions within the teen community, and how can we promote safe driving among teens?”
We were impressed with all of the submissions and wish we could financially help everyone with their higher education. However, we could only select two winners to receive scholarship awards.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for all of your meaningful essays and videos. Your thoughtful insights and unique solutions have left a lasting impact on us. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Sydney’s hope is to one day become a psychiatrist so she can help people in need. Her interests and hobbies include snowboarding, sports, music, and their newest obsession, pickleball. Sydney is so grateful for this scholarship. It will make a big difference to her and her family.
