$1,500 College Scholarship

Here at the Law Offices of Randolph Rice, we understand that the leaders of tomorrow are working and often sacrificing to receive an education today. That’s why in 2016 we launched our annual Law Offices of Randolph Rice Scholarship. The purpose is to award a $1,500 scholarship each year to a deserving student to apply towards college or law school costs and help that student realize his or her potential.

The 2020 Infographic Scholarship

For 2020 we’re asking for Infographic submissions as the basis for the scholarship. In today’s world of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, social media has become a prominent destination for people to acquire new information.

According to www.journalism.org, 38% of adults obtain their news online, while 28% rely on social media or online applications. It’s not a secret that the modern news reader prefers easy and readily available information, such as infographics.

For this reason, we are encouraging students to develop a new skill that can be applied during college or a future career.

Step 1. The 2020 Topic

Using data from government, private agencies or non-profits, create an infographic that tells your story. Choose a topic of your choice related to the following idea:

Injuries in America: Examine a dangerous aspect of life and how things have improved since a law change or regulation.

Step 2. Select Your Resource of Information

Some sites where data is readily available that can be used for these topics are:
