THE 2021 SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY CONTEST SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS SOON, GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ENTERED!
No one wants to be in debt. But unfortunately, people sometimes find themselves in a financial situation that they don’t anticipate. Maybe a family member was diagnosed with cancer and is facing a mountain of unexpected medical bills. Perhaps your neighbor was laid off from their job and can’t make their house payments. No matter the situation, even the most responsible individual can end up struggling to stay financially afloat.
At Loan Lawyers, we help good people find solutions to their financial problems. But we want to hear from you.
We’re awarding two scholarships to students who write the most persuasive essay answering these questions:
What does financial freedom mean for you? How can you achieve it in the future?
