Champion of People’s Rights Scholarship

The attorneys at Gray & Becker P.C. have a passion for protecting the rights of people. We do this by providing people with high-quality legal services for a variety of legal needs. Our commitment to providing our clients with high-quality legal services comes from our dedication to not wanting our clients to get taken advantage of by people who do not respect and support their legal rights.

We believe that education, along with passion and dedication, is empowering for those who want to protect others. By investing in the education of a student who wants to promote and uphold values to protect the rights of others that are similar to our own, we will be investing in a more positive future. For this, we have created the Gray Becker, P.C., Champion of People’s Rights Scholarship, 2019, in the hopes that it will help a student who is committed to being a champion protector of people’s rights.
