$1,000 Safe Cycling Scholarship Due 11/30

Apply by November 30th to Felix Gonzalez Law Firm’s $1,000 Safe Cycling Scholarship.

Background:
We care about everyone’s safety, especially cyclists on the road. That’s why this year we are offering a scholarship to promote safe cycling.

Cyclists are faced with many distractions and dangers on the road. It is important for citizens to take every step possible to be safe on the roads, for not only themselves but others around them. For example, in San Antonio, the city is debating taking extra precautions to ensure safe conditions by expanding bike lanes.

For this scholarship, please explain how governmental measures, like bike lanes, can help prevent accidents in your own community. Discuss old and new laws, education around dangers of cycling in an unsafe space, and if you think more could be done to ensure the safety of cyclists.

The award will be given to the person who best describes the effect of safe cycling in their community and/or changes that are being implemented.

Eligibility:
• current U.S. high school senior, college student, or graduate student
• 3.0+ GPA

How to Apply:
• professional resumé that is up to date with contact information
• transcript from current school that states a cumulative GPA
• 700-1,000 word essay response to the prompt: Discuss old and new laws, and education around the dangers of cycling, and if you think more could be done to ensure the safety of cyclists. See “Background” above for additional guidance on the essay prompt.
