Haque Law believes in the power of today’s young artists and wants to support them as they pursue their academic goals. That drive inspired the firm’s personal injury lawyers in Houston to debut its Wings of Expression scholarship, valued at $2,500.
Students interested in applying for the Wings of Expression scholarship are invited to create a sketch or concept design for a wing-inspired mural. The mural should inspire people to take photos in front of it while uplifting their spirits. The winning student will design and paint their mural on an eight-foot by six-foot wall and have the creation process shared on social media.
Haque Law will provide its winning student with $2,500 to dedicate toward their continued academic studies and $500 for artistic supplies. The team looks forward to giving an ambitious, creative student the opportunity to share their art with the world. Students have until April 1, 2026, to complete their applications.

Scholarship Video Topic
Haque Law invites artistic students to apply for its Wings of Expression scholarship by designing an eight-foot by six-foot mural inspired by wings. This mural should draw the eye and encourage people to stand in front of it while expressing an optimistic and uplifting message.
When submitting their applications, students should include the following materials:
- A sketch or concept design for the wing-type mural: Please include photos and a brief explanation of your inspiration behind it.
- A short video showcasing the process of creating your mural: Students can include reactions from friends or community members who viewed and interacted with their art. The maximum length of your video should be around 2-3 minutes.
Design Recommendations
Haque Law is looking for a mural representing sophisticated hawk wings that look vintage, strong, and weathered. Ideally, the firm wants artists to work with neutral tones, including tans, creams, blacks, and grays. The winning student will paint their mural on a soft white background.
Examples of designs that the firm likes include the following:
AI Statement
The representatives at Haque Law and its scholarship selection committee request that applicants refrain from using AI when submitting concept art for the Wings of Expression mural.
The firm will ask its winning artist to complete their mural on a large scale, meaning that an applicant should be prepared to complete the artistic work needed to reflect their concept art in person.
The use of AI to generate an image as concept art for the Wings of Expression scholarship, or the use of AI to create a scholarship video, will see the applicant disqualified and removed from the applicant pool.
