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.

To encourage thoughtful discussion on this issue, we are awarding two $1,000 scholarships for essays...
