Burrow & Associates, LLC, a Georgia-based law firm, has announced the launch of the Burrow & Associates Road to Recovery Scholarship, a $1,000 award designed to support one deserving student in covering tuition, books, and other academic expenses. The scholarship is open to students across the United States who are enrolled in or accepted to an accredited undergraduate, graduate, or professional program, including community college students, high school seniors, and GED holders.
To apply, students must submit an essay of 1,000 words or less responding to three prompts about helping others through injury, illness, and hardship. In addition to the essay, applicants must provide a current resume and an unofficial transcript. All materials must be emailed to scholarships@legalatlanta.com by the application deadline of August 31, 2027. The scholarship recipient will be announced on October 1, 2027.
Eligibility requirements include a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a demonstrated commitment to assisting others during difficult times. The award is intentionally open to students in any field of study, not just those pursuing a legal career. Examples of qualifying experiences include caring for a family member after an accident, volunteering with individuals recovering from an injury or illness, or helping a neighbor rebuild after a challenging year.
Darrell L. Burrow, founding attorney of Burrow & Associates, emphasized the importance of support during recovery: "After a serious injury, recovery depends on the people who step in to help, and we have seen firsthand how much that support matters for our own clients. This scholarship is our way of recognizing students who have taken real action to help others recover and rebuild, and who plan to keep doing that work long after they graduate."
The firm, established in 1996, has a long history of assisting Georgia residents with personal injury and consumer bankruptcy cases, recovering millions of dollars across more than 10,000 settlements. The scholarship reflects the firm's commitment to the communities it serves. For questions about the scholarship, students can email burrowscholarship@legalatlanta.com, though the office cannot accept phone inquiries regarding the scholarship.
