Prince Law Firm Academic Scholarship

Prince Law Firm, an Illinois personal injury law firm, is offering a $1,000 scholarship for first-year college students or to those who are starting their first years. We understand that for many students, the cost of college is the main barrier that keeps them from advancing to pursue a higher degree.
At Prince Law Firm, we believe everyone should get a chance to get to the next level in their education. By having this scholarship, we want to help promote the importance of education and investing in our future. We started the scholarship in 2019.

Finally, you must attach a digital copy (scan, photo, or screencap) of your college acceptance letter that includes the letterhead to your application email. If you don’t have a copy of your acceptance letter that you can scan/take a photo of, we accept the following:

A scan, photo, or screencap of your first set of courses, clearly stating that this is your first year.
