Chain | Cohn | Clark launches new educational grant program open to all Kern County students

While schooling may look different these days, one thing that hasn’t changed is the very real costs of education, which includes computers, textbooks, college application fees, and other school supplies and needs.

In an effort to help local students with the higher costs of education, local law firm Chain | Cohn | Clark has introduced a new grant and educational video program open to all Kern County students.

The “Chats with Chain | Cohn | Clark” educational grants program aims to give away $500 educational grants. How can students apply? Simple. Kern County students can fill out the application online, and ask our attorneys a question. It could be a question about the law, life as a lawyer, or anything in the legal field they may be curious about.

For the next 10 months, Chain | Cohn | Clark will choose a question, and students will get to ask the lawyers that question on video at Scope Studios in Bakersfield. And, of course, they’ll get some cash for their education, too. Questions and answers will be posted on the Chain | Cohn | Clark YouTube page for all to learn.

“We are especially mindful of the challenges students have faced during the pandemic,” said Matt Clark, senior partner at personal injury attorney with Chain | Cohn | Clark. “This is our way of recognizing these challenges, and hopefully providing students with a little help, encouragement, and education.”

The scholarship application can be accessed on our website, or by visiting this short URL. Scholarship program questions can be directed to [email protected].
