Colorado Access to Education Scholarship

The attorneys of the Amy G Injury Firm believe everyone is entitled to an equal opportunity to create a better future for themselves, their families, and society as a whole.

Many face circumstances that put them at a disadvantage in achieving their goals. Our firm is devoted to working hard to give the voiceless a voice and to equal the playing field. Consistent with this philosophy, the Amy G Injury Firm has proudly awarded the Access to Education Scholarship for the past six years.

We believe in the tapestry of progress, access to education is the golden thread, weaving a brighter future for all. Education is not a privilege but a right and the foundation for a flourishing society. As we unlock the doors of learning for everyone, we pave the way for a world where diverse minds converge, innovate, and collectively propel us toward a harmonious and enlightened tomorrow.

Each year, we award $1,000 to the applicant who offers the most innovative and thought-provoking ideas for expanding access to higher education and a strong articulation as to why they believe that objective is so critically important to the future of our nation and the world.
