Shrager & Sachs Scholarship

Students deserve to have the chance to pursue higher education. At Shrager & Sachs, a personal injury law firm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we believe in helping students achieve this goal.

Your Essay Prompt
To be eligible for the scholarship, you will need to write a unique 500+ word essay on the following topic:

French novelist Marcel Proust once described a character recalling vivid memories from childhood after eating a madeleine cookie dipped in tea. Often, senses like taste and smell can cause these “Proustian memories.” Disney Pixar’s Ratatouille showed this moment when Anton Ego, the food critic, takes a bite of ratatouille and remembers his childhood. Talk about a time you had a Proustian memory. What triggered the memory? How far back did it reach? What did you reflect on after remembering that moment? Did it change you or give you a new perspective?
Your essay will be looked at for the following criteria: Clarity, creativity, uniqueness, and it should be well-thought out and written. Make sure to proofread!
