McKay Law Guardian Angel Scholarship
Giving To Those Who Give To Others
At McKay Law, we believe in the power of giving back and are dedicated to championing those who embody this spirit. We are thrilled to announce the McKay Law Guardian Angel Scholarship, a unique opportunity for those who’ve demonstrated exceptional community service.
For years, we’ve been the trusted guardian angel for many after they’ve suffered an injury, and our founder, Lindsey McKay, a mother of six, understands the importance of investing in the future. We recognize that pursuing a college education can often be challenging due to other life obligations. Through our Guardian Angel Scholarship, we aim to alleviate some of this burden and reward those who make a difference in their community.
Let McKay Law be your guardian angel in your academic pursuits, just like we’ve been for so many in their time of need. We’re committed to helping further your education and express our gratitude for your dedication to your community. Get recognized for your efforts and let us help you pay it forward.
The scholarship will award $2000 annually to a current or prospective college student who has excelled not only in the classroom, but in his or her community.
At McKay Law, we’re not just about pursuing justice; we’re about making a difference beyond the courtroom. Our founder, Lindsey McKay, was inspired by the profound generosity she experienced living with local families in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Southern Germany during her collegiate years. The kindness of these families instilled in her a deep sense of giving back, which she carried into her personal injury practice. As her career flourished, Lindsey’s desire to repay the kindness she received transformed into a commitment to ‘paying it forward.’ McKay Law isn’t simply a law firm, it’s a promise to care for our clients, just as Lindsey was cared for by the families she lived with during her travels. We believe in not just winning cases, but in contributing positively to our community and putting empathy at the forefront of our practice. So, when you choose McKay Law, you aren’t just choosing a law firm, you’re supporting a journey of giving back.
