Each year, Bogin, Munns & Munns awards a $2,500 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Scholarship to a deserving student. The deadline for the 2024 scholarship is July 1, 2024.
About the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Scholarship
Founded in 1979, Bogin, Munns & Munns has always been committed to principles of respect, dignity, and fairness. These values extend beyond our legal practice, inspiring us to establish the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Scholarship. This scholarship aims to support individuals who are personally or professionally interested in this often-overlooked disability, helping them access higher education.
“We are driven to support victims, and we believe there is no more deserving victim than a newborn child,” says Spencer Munns, Partner at Bogin, Munns & Munns. “A baby born with FASD faces lifelong intellectual and developmental challenges due to a completely preventable condition.”
