Students have until June 30, 2027, to complete and submit their applications. The Ryan Law Group will not accept applications submitted after this deadline passes or applications without all essential materials.
Scholarship Video Topic
The Ryan Law Group wants today’s students to think critically about how they can use a degree to improve the legal system. Students creating videos to apply for the Ryan Law Group scholarship should answer the following questions:
- How do you think you can improve the current personal injury law system?
- How do you think you can better help/protect society with a law degree/as a graduate of Law Studies?
Students’ videos should run for up to three minutes. While the firm will not choose a scholarship winner based on the quality of a student’s video editing, the team still encourages students to use tools like Adobe Creative Cloud to create smooth transitions and interesting editing effects.
Once students complete their videos, they should submit those videos to a YouTube account as unlisted videos. Then, students can include a link to their unlisted video along with their other scholarship materials when completing The Ryan Law Group’s application form.
Tips and Tricks for Creating Strong Videos
The Ryan Law Group encourages students to:
- Record their videos in well-lit, insulated areas to preserve visual and sound quality.
- Include their full names, the name of the scholarship they’re applying for, and additional identifying information at the beginning of their videos.
- Include a list of referenced sources, media editing tools, and media libraries used at the end of their videos.
Students may use AI to generate B-roll footage to accompany their videos. However, students may not use AI to generate their scripts, create alternative characters to represent them in their videos, or modify their voices. Likewise, students may not use AI to generate their videos wholesale.
The scholarship selection committee will automatically remove any applications found misusing AI from the application pool.
Application Deadline
Students have until June 30, 2027, to complete and submit their scholarship applications. The Ryan Law Group will not consider scholarships submitted after this deadline. Likewise, the firm will not consider applications submitted without all essential materials.
The scholarship selection committee reserves up to three months to select a winner. The firm will then contact that winning student.
Neither applicants nor their families should reach out to The Ryan Law Group for information about a submitted application or the application filing process. The firm cannot accept emails, phone calls, or direct questions about its scholarship at this time.

Selection & Award Notification Process
Once all students submit their applications, the scholarship selection process will watch students’ scholarship videos and select an award winner. Age, race, religion, gender, national origin, familial status, or other protected classes will have no influence on the committee’s decision.
We ask that neither students nor their families contact The Ryan Law Group after submitting their applications. If we have questions about the nature of a student’s scholarship application, we will reach out individually.
Unfortunately, The Ryan Law Group cannot answer any questions about application status. Likewise, we cannot provide individual notifications to non-winners. Instead, the firm will announce its scholarship winner on The Ryan Law Group blog. We will also release a press release celebrating the winner’s achievements.
The winning student can expect The Ryan Law Group to mail their winnings directly to their law school of choice.
