# Auger & Auger Scholarship Benefits Disabled Students *![profile_herb](https://www.augerlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/profile_herb-300x300.jpg)Law firm offers $1,000 to undergraduates with disabilities* CHARLOTTE, NC – [Auger & Auger](https://www.augerlaw.com/) announced a new scholarship for disabled students today. The firm says the scholarship is intended to help level the playing field for students with physical or mental disabilities. Auger & Auger founder Herb Auger says that the scholarship for $1,000 is open to both current undergraduates and high school students that have been accepted to a college. “This is a group of students that historically faces numerous obstacles,” Auger said. “Our colleges and universities are required to be accessible to disabled students, but that doesn’t eliminate the many social and financial barriers they experience.” Auger says the scholarship is one way of lowering those barriers. “By assisting with tuition and other expenses, our hope at Auger & Auger is that high-achieving disabled students won’t be held back by financial worries.”   ### Contact Us For a Free Legal Consultation [(855) 970-8234](tel:+18559708234) Get a FREE Case Review As a personal injury law firm, Auger & Auger frequently works with accident victims who will cope with disabilities for the rest of their lives.

Most people cannot understand the pressures they go through every day.” Auger says the scholarship won’t eliminate those pressures but could help deserving students overcome them. “Our hope is that this will help someone complete their education and achieve their dream. And that shows the world that a disability doesn’t have to hold you back.” ### Complete a [Free Case Evaluation Form](https://www.augerlaw.com/contact-us/) now [(855) 970-8234](tel:+18559708234) Get a FREE Case Review   The Auger & Auger Disabled Scholar Award will be awarded twice a year.
