Description:
Distracted driving causes far too many car accidents. The personal injury lawyers of Marks & Harrison – a firm that has served Virginia residents for more than 100 years – want to do something about this serious issue.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Marks & Harrison proudly announces a scholarship competition aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. Our goal is to foster discussion about how to prevent these devastating accidents. At the same time, we want to help young people pursue a higher education.

We will award a total of $5,000 in scholarship funds to college-bound high school seniors and two or four year college students who submit the most insightful essays or videos on how to prevent distracted driving – specifically when it involves the use of apps such as Snapchat.
