Scholarship

Graduate & Post Graduate Scholarships

Burlington Criminal Lawyers believes in giving back to both the legal community and our larger community. Towards this mission is the Burlington Scholarship (not only open for law school students but in general to any student from any stream of education). Our program to help inspire would be students who are interested in social awareness. Any student is welcome to apply.

Because of our commitment to support education, Burlington Criminal Lawyers is proud to sponsor an annual $3,000 (3X $1000) Scholarships. The following outlines eligibility and the application process to qualify for the scholarship. Over the past few decades, the rising cost of college tuition has far outpaced the rate of inflation. Higher education is more expensive than ever before. The next scholarship application opens January 1, 2017. Applications will be due by August 21, 2017.
