Georgia Future Champions Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,500
Awards Available: 1
Award Deadline: May 1, 2024

At The Champion Firm, our attorneys devote their lives to helping people throughout Atlanta and all across Georgia when they are wrongfully injured. However, we know help comes in many different forms. From teachers to coaches, parents to grandparents, many people along the way influenced our own education, careers, and aspirations. This scholarship is one of our ways of paying it forward to help Georgia students achieve their dreams.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

We know that it is not easy to become a champion in your chosen field. It takes hours of practice, patience, and persistence. This scholarship is intended to help students with high character and a commitment to community service and servant leadership.

How do you embody those values? What steps are you going to take to become the best at what you do? How are you going to make yourself a champion?

The Future Champions scholarship is open to any students who are residents of Georgia and will be attending a two or four-year college, university, graduate school, or law school in the United States OR out-of-state students who will be attending a school in Georgia. If that applies to you, apply today for the $1,500 Georgia Future Champions Scholarship!
