Our Scholarship Award
GLS Injury Law, as part of its continuing commitment and dedication to, and support of, our local, state and national communities, is pleased to announce the establishment of the GLS Injury Law Scholarship Award. The annual $1,500.00 scholarship will be awarded to the most deserving incoming or present law school student. GLS Injury Law recognizes that the increasing cost of graduate education can be a deterrent for those seeking to become a productive part of our society’s legal profession. We believe that no student, with the passion and vision to enrich the practice of law, should be denied this opportunity. The American judicial systems are the best in the world, and the need for moral, ethical, principled and hard-working attorneys to promote and sustain these systems and maintain their integrity is of paramount importance.
