Divorce Stigma Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Atlanta Divorce Law Group
Introduction
The Atlanta Divorce Law Group has guided many families through difficult transitions and has seen how divorce can reshape lives for the better. We reject the notion that divorce must be defined by shame or guilt. Instead, we promote the idea that families can move toward healthier, happier futures—even if that future looks different from a traditional marriage. Our attorneys regularly witness divorce enabling positive change, and we want to remove the stigma so individuals can make clear, constructive decisions for their families.
About The Divorce Stigma Scholarship
To amplify stories that counter negative assumptions about divorce, the Atlanta Divorce Law Group is continuing The Divorce Stigma Scholarship. We invite students to share real experiences that show how divorce produced positive outcomes for those involved. One winner will be selected under the criteria below and awarded a $1,000 scholarship to support their education.
