2022 Immigrant Innovation Scholarship

At Ritchie-Reiersen Injury & Immigration Attorneys, we believe that immigration improves communities and positively impacts the growth of a country. As a personal injury and immigration firm, we love supporting our community and helping people to accomplish their dreams. 

We created the Immigrant Innovation Scholarship for students who are passionate about improving the lives of immigrants and making life easier for immigrant entrepreneurs. Students should discuss how immigration and innovation are related and what inspires them about the entrepreneurial spirit. This award will go to the applicant who best details the immigrant experience and the risks and rewards of being an immigrant entrepreneur.

The deadline to apply for this opportunity is September 15, 2022. The winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

  • Employees of Ritchie-Reiersen Injury & Immigration Attorneys, their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households as such individuals (whether related or not), are not eligible to participate in the competition.
