Drexel University Student Wins 2023 Truck Accident Awareness Scholarship for Advocacy and Community Service

Grace Schuler, a senior at Drexel University studying hospitality management, has been named the winner of The Fitch Law Firm LLC's 2023 Truck Accident Awareness Scholarship. Schuler's essay, which recounted her brother's traumatic truck accident seven years ago, not only showcased her personal connection to the cause of motor vehicle safety but also her dedication to community service. Her initiatives, including writing grants for a local food pantry and teaching children in the Dominican Republic, reflect her commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

The Fitch Law Firm LLC, an Ohio-based personal injury law firm, established the scholarship to invest in education and promote safer roads. Applicants are required to have a minimum 3.0 GPA and submit an essay proposing solutions to reduce truck accidents in Ohio. Schuler's winning essay earned her a $2,500 scholarship to further her studies. The firm, founded by Attorney John Fitch, has a strong track record of advocating for motor vehicle accident claimants, securing over $150 million in settlements and verdicts.

Schuler's story and the scholarship underscore the critical role of education and advocacy in addressing public safety issues like truck accidents. Her achievements serve as an inspiration to others, demonstrating how personal experiences can fuel a passion for service and advocacy. The Fitch Law Firm LLC's initiative highlights the importance of supporting young leaders who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
