Joye Law Firm Holds 10th Annual Scholarship Competition for College-Bound Students

    CHARLESTON, SC, March 23, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Now in its 10th year, Joye Law Firm's scholarship program is seeking applications and creative projects from high school seniors across South Carolina, giving students the opportunity to win $2,000 scholarships to assist with college education expenses, the firm announced today.

"As a part of our commitment to serving communities in South Carolina, Joye Law Firm is honored to have the opportunity to help promising students further their educations," said Joye Law Firm's Managing Partner Ken Harrell. "Each year, we are amazed by the students' qualifications and by the thought and creativity they invest in our scholarship competition. We are certain this year will be no different.

To enter the scholarship competition, applicants must develop a "creative entry" that addresses the dangers of distracted driving and/or drunk driving. The entries can take one of many forms - an essay, a poem, a painting, a poster, a video, an audio recording, a web page or another form of create expression. "The more creative, the better," the firm states.

Applicants must also provide a high school transcript and must plan to attend a four-year institution of higher learning in the fall. The deadline for entries is April 1, and winners will be announced no later than June 1.

Judges will select scholarship winners based on criteria such as the quality of the creative entry, as well as the student's school activities, positions of leadership, special honors and awards, community involvement, academic performance, and professional pursuits.

More details about the scholarship program and how to enter are available on Joye Law Firm's website.
