Resilience Scholarship Award

Resilience Scholarship Award

Georgia-based personal injury law firm Litner + Deganian has spent decades supporting people during their most challenging times, seeing first-hand how grit, determination and resilience can shape a person’s life for the better.

That’s why we’re excited to help those who overcame adversity achieve their academic goals. The Litner + Deganian Resilience Scholarship Award is given out annually to two deserving recipients. The first-place winner receives $1,500 and the second-place winner receives $1,000. Inspired by L+D attorney Paige Wheeler, who sustained — and survived — a traumatic brain injury during her final semester of high school, this scholarship award supports students on their educational path forward.
