Auger and Auger Disabled Scholar Award
Scholarship Sponsored by Auger and Auger Attorneys at Law
Auger & Auger, a leading firm of accident and injury attorneys, takes immense pride in announcing their Annual Auger & Auger Disabled Scholar Award. This award is dedicated to supporting the academic pursuits of America's disabled students. Every fall semester, this honor is conferred upon a bright, hardworking student planning to undertake an undergraduate degree.
Being a personal injury law firm, our lawyers frequently interact with families grappling with severe injuries and disability-related challenges. We witness firsthand the unique hurdles that disabled individuals must overcome, and their indomitable spirit and determination. To contribute to the disabled community, Auger & Auger Accident and Injury Lawyers offers a $1,000 scholarship annually to help cover tuition and other related costs at a qualifying undergraduate school.
The Disabled Scholar Award represents our commitment to community engagement and our desire to uplift our fellow citizens. We have previously participated in the Walk Like MADD’s 5K Fun Run to spread awareness about the perils of drunk driving. With the Disabled Scholar Award, we aspire to highlight the challenges faced by disabled young individuals, and help one deserving recipient achieve their aspirations and goals.
