2026 Hospital Safety Awareness Scholarship

At Lowenthal & Abrams, we believe in empowering students to think critically about the systems that affect our communities and our well-being. Hospitals are places where patients and families trust they will receive safe, effective care, but too often, preventable errors and systemic challenges compromise that safety. We understand that the next generation of leaders may hold the most innovative ideas for improving healthcare, and we’re committed to supporting students who are passionate about making a difference.

That’s why we are proud to offer the 2026 Hospital Safety Awareness Scholarship, a $1,000 award inviting high school seniors, college students, and graduate students to share thoughtful, policy-focused ideas on how laws could improve hospital safety and reduce preventable harm. This scholarship is more than financial support, it’s our way of investing in your voice, your vision, and your potential to contribute to safer hospital environments for all. Learn more about eligibility and how to apply, and submit your application today to join the conversation and help shape the future of healthcare safety.
