ScholarshipsCLHP believes in supporting higher education.  We realize that the quality of service we deliver to our clients relates, in large part, to the competence and experience of our professional staff.  We encourage higher education and we feel that we support that belief in several ways.  First, several of the partners teach classes at local colleges, universities, and law schools.  Second, we give our staff the flexibility to engage in learning.  Third, we offer a scholarship to individuals at Georgia College and State University that meet specific performance criteria.  Finally, we offer a paid internship to all scholarship winners so that they may benefit from practical application of their learning experience.
