Law Student Scholarship

“Pay It Forward. That’s How We Get Justice For All.”

Each year, RVA Trial Lawyers offers a scholarship of $1,000 for a law student who intends to work as a personal injury trial lawyer in Virginia to attend a training of their choice.

A few months after starting work as a personal injury trial lawyer, Sean Claggett sponsored Sharif Gray‘s scholarship to attend Trial Lawyers University in Las Vegas. At the event, Sharif learned from and met some of the best trial lawyers in the nation. And, since then, his clients and his family continue to benefit from what he learned at Trial Lawyers University thanks to Sean’s generosity.

This scholarship is Sharif’s attempt to pay it forward. 

The application is below. Applications are accepted until September 15 of each year.
