Slater & Zurz LLP, a law firm with downtown offices in Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Ohio, is pleased to announce the 4th Annual Slater & Zurz Scholarship Award. This year, $5,000 will be awarded to the winner. The award will be paid directly to the Ohio college or university that the winner will attend for the 2021-22 academic year.

"Many of us at Slater & Zurz remember how challenging it was to pay for college," states Jim Slater, managing partner of Slater & Zurz. "Today those college costs are even greater.

HOW THE WINNER WILL BE SELECTED:
The winner of the Slater & Zurz Scholarship Award will be selected based on (1) an original two- to four-minute YouTube video created by the applicant, and (2) an accompanying 1,000- to 2,000-word essay.
