Rice Law $1,500 Scholarship

Here at Rice Law, 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 Rice Law 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 2025 Infographic Scholarship

For 2025, 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 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 2025 Topic

Create an infographic that tells your story using data from government, private agencies, or non-profits. 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 Source of Information

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

• FBI Uniform Criminal Reporting – https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/
• Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics- https://www.ucrdatatool.gov/
• Prevention Institute – https://www.preventioninstitute.org

These sites do not limit you. If you find a reputable source and want to use that data, that is permissible.
