Fountain Law Firm $1,000 Scholarship

Sponsor: Fountain Law Firm

Topic: Would changing the driving age to 18 make a positive impact, a negative impact, or no change at all? Why or why not?

Description:
At Fountain Law Firm, we value education and helping those in need. We also understand that school can be a significant expense and know how hard it can be for students and their families to make ends meet. Between housing, tuition, books, and school supplies, the cost of attending college or graduate school can easily rise into the tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. In an effort to make things a little easier for students and their families, we are pleased to be offering a yearly $1,000 scholarship to individuals who are currently attending or planning on attending college or graduate school in the near future. Question: Would changing the driving age to 18 make a positive impact, a negative impact, or no change at all? Why or why not?

Award: $1,000
