Why are we offering the scholarship to students affected by cancer?
We are aware of how profoundly a cancer diagnosis affects the family dynamics and the emotional well-being of each family member. Everything changes in a family when someone gets a cancer diagnosis. Parents have to quit jobs and focus on treatment, and the family's income decreases drastically. Our goal is to support a student with a family connection to cancer to continue his/her education. For this reason, we have decided to offer a little help to young people in our clients' families who have witnessed a loved one’s devastating struggle with cancer to ease at least their financial situation.
"Our firm founder's father suffered from an asbestos-related disease, and many members of our staff share the traumatizing experience of standing by a family member who battled cancer."
Greg Cade current owner at Environmental Litigation Group P.C.
Awarding scholarships for over 50 years
Our asbestos scholarship fund was established over 50 years ago with the purpose of providing financial help to children and grandchildren of our clients whose asbestos litigation cases had been settled. Over 160 students receiving the asbestos scholarships have attended 47 colleges and universities, including Auburn University, University of Alabama, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Stillman College, Spelman College, and University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
