Colburn Law Annual Spinal Disability Scholarship

The Seattle personal injury lawyers at Colburn Law want to be a helping hand to students who have suffered a disability. We have created a $3,000 scholarship to increase public awareness and to help a scholar in need. We hope this scholarship will lend financial hope to one deserving student who has single-handedly been affected by a spinal disability.

This scholarship is open to students who have been affected by direct spinal cord injuries and diseases resulting in paralyses such as spinal tumors, strokes, or aneurysms affecting the spinal cord, spina bifida, MS, traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson’s, and cerebral palsy. 

Colburn Law Cares

At Colburn Law, we understand the importance of education as well as how difficult and burdensome a college education can be to finance. The cost of obtaining a college education is higher than ever and our goal is to take some of the financial burdens off a dedicated, deserving, and hardworking student.

Attorney Greg Colburn knows firsthand how a disability can impact your personal and professional life. While Greg Colburn finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Washington, he worked as a carpenter. On October 10, 2002, a roofing subcontractor’s negligence caused Greg to fall approximately 20 feet, leaving him wheelchair-bound for two years.
