Hurwitz, Michael J. Whitcher, and Kathleen A.

We are offering the $1,000 Hurwitz, Whitcher, and Molloy Accident Injury Scholarship to people who currently attend or are planning on attending an accredited United States college, university, or graduate school soon.

Highway crashes and collisions represent the single largest category of accidental deaths, and they are the most common cause of death among children and young adults.
