Longo Biggs In Memoriam Scholarship

The loss of a loved one is challenging. No matter the circumstances, it comes with difficult emotions and pain. When we lose someone close to us, it could feel like we lost one of the few people in this world who gets us. Whether you lost a family member, mentor, or someone else, the special bonds we form with those close to us are rare and cherished.

For this scholarship, we ask applicants to share a story of someone dear to them who passed away and what that person meant to them. You can discuss lessons learned from them, memories you cherish, and their profound impact on your life. Use this application to honor their legacy and reflect on how they made a mark on your life.

As a personal injury law firm, Longo Biggs Injury Law often works with individuals who suddenly lost someone due to an accident. We understand these individuals’ pain and the strength it takes them to move forward. That is why we wanted to create a scholarship that others can relate to and encourage anyone who has lost someone close to them to keep going. We understand how difficult losing someone is, but for someone to have had such an incredible impact on your life is a blessing and should be celebrated. This scholarship will allow students to put on paper some beautiful things they have to share about someone who made a difference in their life.
