GWC Injury Lawyers Annual Scholarship

THE FIRM CONGRATULATES MADELEINE KAVOOSSI FOR WINNING OUR 2023 SCHOLARSHIP.

Madeleine Kavoossi

As one of Illinois’ premier Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation law firms, GWC Injury Lawyers knows how important a great education is to a successful future, both for the students themselves and their communities as a whole.  Our team of legal professionals is dedicated to helping provide opportunities for students throughout the country.

With this in mind, we have created the GWC Injury Lawyers Annual Scholarship.  This program is aimed at assisting students who are currently enrolled in a college or university in the United States. Being enrolled as a law student is NOT a pre-requisite of this scholarship.  However, applicants who express an interest in the United States justice system are preferred.

Students are chosen based upon their exemplary academic skills, their service to their communities, and a short essay.  The winning applicant will receive $1,000.00 to be applied towards the student’s upcoming Fall Semester tuition bill.

Further information about next year’s scholarship will be available shortly.
