Houston Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by KGS Law PLLC

KGS Law PLLC is a Houston, TX–based personal injury firm that takes great pride in our city and the younger generations who call it home. Houston’s diversity is one of its greatest strengths — more than 145 languages are spoken across the region — and that multicultural environment is part of what makes this city an appealing place for young people to raise families and build their futures.

Our attorneys are committed to serving members of the community who have been harmed, and that commitment extends beyond the courtroom. To support students pursuing higher education, KGS Law PLLC is offering a scholarship as a way to give back.
