NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The Stein Law Group, PLLC, a New York personal injury law firm, has launched a $1,000 community scholarship aimed at supporting students pursuing careers in law, criminal justice, or public service. The annual award is open to undergraduate and graduate students studying law, pre-law, criminal justice, paralegal studies, public policy, or related disciplines, with a preference for those residing in or attending school within New York City or the tri-state area.
The scholarship application is now open and will close on April 1, 2027. To be eligible, applicants must have a minimum 2.5 GPA if they are already enrolled in college, and must submit an original 750-word essay reflecting on a law, policy, or legal protection that has meaningfully improved the lives of working people or vulnerable communities. Additionally, applicants need to provide a current transcript or official letter of acceptance and proof of enrollment.
Founded and led by Adam J. Stein, Esq., The Stein Law Group, PLLC, has a commitment to giving back to New York’s communities. The scholarship is an extension of the firm’s work for injured New Yorkers in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan. The firm’s work includes representing workers, families, and individuals harmed through no fault of their own, and the scholarship aims to support the next generation of advocates who will carry this work forward.
The essay prompt draws on New York’s personal injury and labor laws, including Labor Law Section 240, which provides protections for construction workers injured in falls. Applicants are encouraged to reflect on a law, policy, or legal protection that has positively impacted working people or vulnerable communities and to explain its effectiveness and suggest ways to strengthen protections further.
All submitted essays become the property of The Stein Law Group, PLLC. By applying, applicants give the firm permission to publish the winner’s name and an excerpt of the winning essay for promotional and educational purposes. The winner will be selected and notified by May 1, 2027.
