I’m honored to be the recipient of the Spring 2025 Burress Injury Law Underdog Scholarship! I heard about the opportunity from Monica Matthews’s scholarship lists. It means the world to have your support in my postsecondary endeavors! Currently, I am a freshman in the Honors College at the University of South Carolina. I am studying Broadcast Journalism and Sport and Entertainment Management and I plan on attending Law School to work in Sport and Entertainment Law after graduation!

Thank you so much for awarding me the Spring 2025 Burress Injury Law Underdog Scholarship! I am honored and thankful to accept this award as it will greatly help me pay for my education at the University of California - Los Angeles where I am currently studying Neuroscience on the pre-health track. I hope to one day help others just like my own healthcare team at Children's Hospital Los Angeles helped me.

Thank you so much for selecting my essay as the 2025 Burress Injury Law Underdog Scholarship winner I am truly overjoyed! First I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone involved in the scholarship process. I am so lucky to have found your scholarship through studentscholarships.org. With the ever-rising cost of college, this award will go a long way in furthering my education here at the University of Alabama and beyond. I will graduate a year early this spring and it is my hope that our paths will cross again in the near future in my pursuit of a law degree. Words cannot express how humbled I am by the firm's generosity. As an aspiring lawyer, I one day hope to offer such a scholarship to a college student in similar financial need.
