Farmer & Klopfer

Recovering from a severe injury can be a major undertaking. For many people, it could mean taking time off from school or work, essentially putting their lives on hold. At Farmer & Klopfer, we want to help uplift the people who are dealing with or have overcome a major injury, recognizing the traumatic effects of these conditions.

We are opening the Road to Recovery Scholarship to students who have suffered severe injuries or whose parents have suffered a major injury. This scholarship will be open twice a year, during the fall and spring, awarding $1,000 to one student per semester.

Applying for the Road to Recovery Scholarship

Apply for the scholarship by responding to the following prompt in a 500-word essay.

Essay Prompt

Describe the impact of the injury on your life. How have you responded to it, and what changes has it forced you to make in your daily life?

Essays should be attached in .docx format. We also ask that students provide documentation that proves their enrollment or intention to enroll in a college or university. Additionally, the student must provide proof of the injury. The digital application can be found below.
