The Solomon Law Group $1000 Scholarship Opportunity

College students today face many obstacles. One of those obstacles in paying for school. Paying for tuition, books, and food can get costly for students. At The Solomon Law Group in Columbia, SC, we value higher education and want to support those who pursue it.

That’s why we’re offering a once-yearly $1,000 scholarship to students who are currently in or plan to start their first year of college or graduate school. Our lawyers are committed to helping students with their academics and investing in a better future.

We have announced a winner for Fall 2021!
