Headlights for Hope Scholarship
$1,000
Introduction
At Clark & Howell we recognize how common motorcycle crashes remain across the country. While Maine is consistently ranked among the three safest states to drive in the U.S., the state recently experienced nearly a threefold increase in motorcycle fatalities compared with earlier years. New Hampshire also reported a 6% rise in crash-related deaths in 2024. With a goal of improving roadway safety and reducing these tragic outcomes, we are launching the 2026 Headlights for Hope Scholarship to encourage awareness and generate practical ideas for preventing motorcycle accidents and distracted driving.

Child Custody Analysis Scholarship
$1,000
Introduction
Child custody disputes can be deeply upsetting for the children involved and are often the focus of intense legal and personal debate. These situations can have significant long-term consequences — positive or negative — for a child’s wellbeing. Some argue that adults should make custody decisions because they are responsible for protecting the child’s best interests. Others contend that when children are mature enough, their perspectives (especially when their own circumstances are part of why custody is contested) should carry weight in the outcome. To encourage thoughtful discussion on this issue, we are awarding two $1,000 scholarships for essays...
