Sponsor: John H. Fisher, P.C. (The New York Injury & Malpractice Law Firm, P.C.) Scholarship: Anthony's Scholarship Living with a Sense of Purpose Detailed Description: John Fisher is devoted to fighting for the rights of suicide victims and their families. Suicide is the leading cause of preventable death in our country. Sadly, those suffering from depression and mental health illnesses are often neglected or under-treated in our health system. Mr. Fisher is proud to introduce Anthony’s Scholarship, a scholarship created to educate and provide resources to those suffering from suicidal ideation and depression and their families. This award is aptly named after one of the many victims of suicide, Anthony Banhart. Anthony cared deeply for his family. He was generous, kind and was always there when you needed him. Anthony was taken by police to the hospital’s emergency department after a suicide note was discovered at his home. Family members and members of the police department warned the hospital personnel that Anthony had plans to end his life and desperately needed emergency medical and psychiatric treatment. Anthony never got the treatment he so badly needed. Without seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist, Anthony was released from the emergency department with no follow-up treatment plan and took his own life three days later. A common myth about suicide malpractice cases is that the patient’s death was inevitable even with proper medical management and counseling. With proper medical and psychiatric treatment, Anthony would likely be alive today. Accessible mental health care would positively impact susceptible individuals who suffer from suicidal tendencies. Legislation could make health care mandatory for people who need it, profoundly helping them, as well as limiting or regulating access to the firearms which are involved in the leading method of suicide. Mr. Fisher has established a scholarship in the amount of $2,000 to be awarded to a student interested in these issues. Applicants should discuss how legislation addressing U.S. health care and/or access to firearms could help prevent suicide. Requirements: To be considered for this scholarship, fill out the application form (hyperlinked in the page below) and upload your resume, school transcript, and a 500-1,000 word essay with thoughtful ideas on how legislation can be implemented to lower or decrease the rate of suicide in the United States.* All submission documents must be in a readable format, preferably in PDF. *Applicants agree to allow John H. Fisher to use all or part of their essays in an effort to promote the Anthony’s Suicide Prevention Scholarship. If you have any questions, please email jfisherscholarships@gmail.com. Eligibility: To be eligible for this scholarship, the applicant must be enrolled in an academic program. This includes current high school seniors and college students with plans to continue their education in the upcoming semester. Applicants must also have maintained a 3.0 or higher GPA in school. Deadline: April 30, 2024 We appreciate your interest in the 2024 Anthony’s Scholarship Living with a Sense of Purpose. The winner will be announced on September 8th in honor of National Suicide Prevention Week. Amount: $2,000 |

Sponsor: Maze Law Offices Scholarship: Environmental Heroes Scholarship Detailed Description: More than ever before, humans are turning their attention to the environment and the importance of its preservation. A light has been shed on some of the irreparable damage that has already been done and alarms are being sounded to not only cease further harm, but also heal ongoing problems. As the perpetual build-up of waste and pollutants fill our modern world, there are several organizations and individuals across our beautiful nation that are committed to making a difference. These contributors work and innovate to create solutions that may sustain the comforts we have grown used to, while also caring for the earth around us. One example of a company that has worked to make a difference is Ale-8-One, a popular regional soft drink manufacturer. For 100 years, this Kentucky-based company participated in a program that allowed for the reuse of its 100% recyclable glass beverage bottles. These traditional longneck bottles were purchased and then brought back to participating locations and thereafter returned to the manufacturer to be sanitized and reused. This recycling program eliminated monumental amounts of glass from landfills while also conserving resources. Although this program is coming to a close in 2023, Ale-8-One continues to find ways to help maintain our country’s natural beauty through its participation in the “Commonwealth Collective” recycling program, further proving their commitment to preservation efforts. Like Ale-8-One, there are a growing number of individuals and organizations making valuable efforts to be environmentally friendly. Now, our team at Maze Law Offices wants to highlight these individuals and organizations through our Environmental Heroes Scholarship! This $1,000 award will be given to the student that writes the best essay about their local environmental hero. To learn more about the scholarship details and how to apply, read below. Requirements:
