Eltringham Law Group Accident Injury/Illness Scholarship

We are giving back to our community with the Eltringham Law Group Accident Injury/Illness Scholarship, which aims to support college-bound students who have been seriously injured in an accident or suffered from some other type of disease or illness that continues to negatively impact their lives.

For example, when a loved one is hurt in an accident, it poses hardships for the entire family. Students may have a hard time affording college and attending it. Eltringham Law Group is lending a hand by awarding three scholarships to students in need of financial assistance to achieve their educational goals and reach for their dreams.
