Our Texas law firm, Burress Injury Law, is offering several scholarship awards to students throughout the U.S. who are pursuing higher education in the coming year. Our Burress Injury Law Underdog Scholarships support students who have persevered through adversity and have a passion for helping other people. For Spring 2022, we will select one recipient to receive a $5,000 award, as well as two additional recipients to receive $2,500 awards.
Eligible applicants include any U.S. citizen who is enrolled at an accredited U.S. college or university for the Spring 2022 semester. We ask applicants to write and submit an essay of no more than 500 words in response to the prompt: “Describe a challenge or trying time in your life through which you persevered, and how the experience helped shape your future.” The essay and all other application materials must be submitted by the deadline of November 15, 2021.
