Beginning in 2025, Siegfried and Jensen will help one high-achieving student pay a portion of their college tuition fees. The Truth, Justice, and Fairness scholarship promises $2,500 to a student whose engagement with modern personal injury law benefits disenfranchised communities.
Siegfried and Jensen wants students to use the videos they create for their scholarship applications to convey students’ interest in law and dedication to widespread justice. Students have until June 30, 2025, to complete and submit their scholarship applications.
Application Requirements
The Truth, Justice, and Fairness Scholarship welcomes applications from undergraduate and graduate students at any United States accredited college, university, or graduate school.
Qualifying students must agree to the scholarship’s terms and conditions and submit all essential application materials.
Students must specifically complete a two-to-three-minute video answering the scholarship’s video prompt, then upload the video as unlisted media on a YouTube account. The firm expects students to include a link to their video with their complete application form when applying for the Truth, Justice, and Fairness scholarship.
Scholarship Video Topic
Siegfried and Jensen invites students to consider how they intend to use a law degree to help communities in need. Students creating videos must critically examine how they can impact the current personal injury law system and how their experience can help protect maligned communities.
Students’ videos need to be between two and three minutes in length. They can edit their videos using any creative media editing software, including Adobe Creative Cloud. Likewise, students can use AI to generate B-roll footage for their videos.
However, using AI to create an entire video, script, stand-in applicants, or voice modulation techniques will automatically disqualify the user from the applicant pool.
Best Practices for Video Creation
We recommend that students record their videos in well-lit and insulated rooms to preserve visual and audio quality. We also ask that applicants include the following information at the start of their video:
- Their full name
- The name of the scholarship they’re applying for
- Necessary credits, including media libraries and professional resources
Students should also credit any media editing tools they use to make their videos at the end of their production. All videos must be titled and shared with Siegfried and Jensen before the scholarship application deadline passes.
Application Deadline
Students have until June 30, 2025, to complete their videos and submit all application materials to Siegfried and Jensen. Unfortunately, the firm cannot consider applications submitted after the application deadline passes. Likewise, the scholarship selection committee will not award its scholarship to anyone who submits an incomplete application.
The scholarship selection committee reserves up to three months to select a winner from its applicant pool. The team asks that neither students nor their parents reach out to Siegfried and Jensen for updates on the status of a student’s scholarship during this timeframe. The team will only communicate with its scholarship winner.
Again, students must submit complete applications by June 30, 2025. Please do not contact the firm and request to submit an application late. Communications about the Truth, Justice, and Fairness scholarship will go unanswered.
Terms and Conditions
Applicants applying for the Truth, Justice, and Fairness scholarship have an obligation to meet all of the scholarship’s eligibility requirements if they want the scholarship selection committee to consider their applications.

Selection & Award Notification Process
Applications for the Truth, Justice, and Fairness scholarship must meet all of the aforementioned eligibility criteria. Likewise, all scholarships must reach Siegfried and Jensen before the June 30, 2025, deadline.
Once the scholarship submission deadline passes, the scholarship selection committee will begin watching students’ video submissions. The editing quality of a video will not impact a person’s chances of winning this scholarship.
Likewise, age, race, religion, gender, national origin, familial status, or other protected classes will have no influence on the committee’s decision.
Announcing the Winner of the 2025 Truth, Justice, and Fairness Scholarship
Siegfried and Jensen once again asks that neither students nor their families contact the firm with questions about the scholarship or the winner selection process. Once the selection committee chooses a winner, the committee will privately reach out to that student.
The committee will arrange for the scholarship funds to be delivered to the winning student’s school of choice. Afterward, Siegfried and Jensen will announce the winner and celebrate their accomplishments online. Students can expect the firm to publish a blog post and press release about their successes.
Previous Winners
Students will have the opportunity to apply for the Truth, Justice, and Fairness scholarship for the first time in 2025. In the future, Siegfried and Jensen will celebrate its scholarship winners with blog posts and press releases shared here.
