San Antonio Students Invited to Apply to The Carlson Law Firm’s Scholarshi­p

High School Students Headed to a College, Trade School or University are Eligible for $2,500

-

The Carlson Law Firm’s Carlson Cares Scholarshi­p nomination period is now open through April 18, 2024.

San Antonio seniors headed to a Texas college, trade school or university are invited to apply.

This is the firm’s fourth year offering a scholarshi­p to high school seniors in Texas.

“Each year, we’ve tried to make it bigger and better,” Managing Partner Craig Carlson said. “This year, we’re offering $2,500 to two Texas seniors.” Since its inception, Carlson has come up with a theme for the essay or video prompts that students submit. This year, the theme is “Unstoppabl­e Force.”

“We want to know how you accomplish your goals,” Carlson said. “I recognize that today’s students deal with a tremendous number of distractio­ns, obstacles and pressure. Anything can knock you off your path toward goals. So, it’s a crucial life skill to know how to navigate the toughest situations and come out on top to accomplish your dreams.”

How do I apply?

Applying is easy! This year’s prompt is: Tell us about something or someone that motivates you to keep pushing toward your goals. Applicants can either submit a 2-3 minute video or write a 300-500 word essay. The scholarshi­p form allows applicants to submit their applicatio­n.

“Our scholarshi­p is not just about grades,” Carlson said. “We want to know what makes you an Unstoppabl­e Force. There is always some motivation—whether it’s from within or an influentia­l figure—that fuels us to achieve. We want to know about yours.”
