Auger and Auger Disabled Scholar Award
Scholarship Sponsored by Auger and Auger Attorneys at Law
Auger & Auger Disabled Scholar Award — Overview
Auger & Auger Accident & Injury Lawyers is pleased to announce the Annual Auger & Auger Disabled Scholar Award, presented each Fall semester to one accomplished student with a disability who plans to pursue an undergraduate degree. The firm — which frequently represents families coping with serious injuries and disabling conditions — created this $1,000 scholarship to help cover tuition and other college expenses and to support the resilience and ambitions of disabled students.
Why we offer this scholarship
As a personal injury practice, our attorneys see the obstacles and determination shown by people living with disabilities. In addition to community involvement such as participating in Walk Like MADD’s 5K Fun Run to raise awareness about impaired driving, this scholarship is another way for Auger & Auger to give back and to spotlight the achievements and potential of disabled young people.
