On college campuses, there is strength in numbers. History has shown us that students who join together for a worthy cause accomplish great things. At The Foray Hurst Firm, we recognize the value of Black Student Unions in higher education. We have started the United Voices Scholarship to celebrate Black students supporting each other on campus. This $1,000 award can be used to cover various educational expenses, including tuition, room and board, and class materials.

It’s important to understand that almost anything you post on the Internet is neither temporary nor private. And posting too much information can have devastating consequences. Forty-three percent of employers who checked on social media have decided not to hire someone, according to a CareerBuilder survey. Twelve percent of college admissions officers who checked Facebook decided not to admit an applicant according to a Kaplan Test Prep survey. The purpose of this scholarship is to help you understand why you should be cautious about what you post on the Internet.
