Dirk Derrick Car & Truck Accident Injury Scholarship

A $1,000 Scholarship For Those Affected By Auto Accidents

The Dirk Derrick Car & Truck Accident Injury Scholarship is an award for any current or soon-to-be undergraduate student in the United States who has had his or her life altered due to an injury from a car or truck accident, be it their own injury, that of a loved one, or an influential individual. The Dirk Derrick Scholarship has a brief submission process, and applicants will be judged on their ability to convey the lasting effect an auto accident has had on their life as well as their journey to overcome those challenges. Applicants may apply via the Google Form below.

Students applying must submit an essay where you explain, present, inspire, or otherwise convince us as to why you deserve to win this scholarship. There are no conditions or outside requirements for this essay. Please keep submissions to 5 paragraphs and 600 words at the absolute maximum. This is not a standardized test. While spelling, punctuation, and general cohesiveness will make your essay easier to read, and therefore judge, you are not being graded. The winning submission will be one which clearly conveys a non-fictional story of your life before and after an auto accident.

Auto accidents can be life changing. At The Derrick Law Firm, we believe in keeping the public safe by bringing first hand experience to those who haven’t had it, as well as easing the stress of accident victims as they enter one of the most important phases of their lives.

This is a one-time $1,000 scholarship and the winner will be announced on December 20th of each year.

The deadline to apply for this scholarship is December 15th of each year. You may apply below via the Google Form.

Class of 2023 thinking about a career in the military? Did you know you have options?

CLOSING SOON!
DEADLINE: February 15, 2023

ATTENTION IF YOU BEGIN THE APPLICATION PROCESS YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY A MILITARY RECRUITER

Seniors the applicant portal is open for ROTC scholarships, start the application process early to better understand the requirements. The scholarship allows you a full college experience (degree) but you must also participate in Naval Science classes, the first two summers learning about the Navy and Marine Corps, the third summer in Officer Candidate School and the fourth you begin your military career. YOU CANNOT OPT-OUT TO ATTEND THE MILITARY AFTER RECEIVING ANY SCHOLARSHIP SERVICES.

Qualifying applicants must:

Score 1000 combined on the SAT, or 22 on the ACT. Navy/Nurse Option combined SAT score a minimum of 1150.
Be a US Citizen (no exceptions)
Meet physical qualifications

All Navy and Nurse Option Officer Interviews must be conducted by an Officer at an NROTC Unit.
