The Thumbs Up Guys Scholarship
At Miller, Dawson, Sigal, & Ward Injury Attorneys, we are loyal to our community. We have its back through thick and thin, protecting the rights of the people who belong to it. That’s why we’re known as the Thumbs Up Guys. While ours is traditionally a reactionary role in society, it is our belief that to love your community and do right by it, you also have to be proactive. That is why we are pleased to launch the Thumbs Up Guys Scholarship. Because education paves the way for a society to flourish, we want to play a part in helping students get the schooling they desire to contribute something great to our community. The scholarship will grant three students a $1,000 scholarship each to be applied towards their tuition or other education-related expenses.
