A personal injury can change a person’s life in a single moment. A car accident or a serious fall can leave someone facing medical bills and time away from work. For many families, the financial strain that follows is just as difficult as the injury itself.
At Burrow & Associates, LLC, we have helped Georgia residents through these situations since 1996. We handle personal injury and consumer bankruptcy cases from several offices across the Atlanta area. Our firm was founded by attorney Darrell L. Burrow, and we have recovered millions of dollars in more than 10,000 personal injury settlements. We are known for treating our clients with dignity, giving honest advice, and offering compassionate representation.
We created the Burrow & Associates Road to Recovery Scholarship to support students who help other people through difficult times. After a serious injury, recovery is rarely quick, and it often depends on the people who step in to help. We have seen how much that support matters for our own clients. For example, a student might care for a family member after an accident, volunteer with people who are healing from an injury or illness, or help a neighbor get back on their feet after a hard year.
The scholarship is open to students in any field of study, not only those planning a career in law. We are looking for a student who has taken real action to help others recover or rebuild, and who can explain how their education will allow them to keep doing that work. Through this scholarship, we hope to support a deserving student as they move toward their goals.
