Overview of the Varghese Summersett Down Syndrome Scholarship 2026
Amount: $500
Deadline: April 1, 2026
Each year, approximately 6,000 babies are born with Down syndrome, a chromosomal condition that occurs when there is a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional gene can affect an individual’s life, educational development, characteristics, personality, and physicality.
The attorneys and legal professionals at Varghese Summersett believe in giving back to the community, especially with causes close to our hearts. Three members of our legal team have children with special needs, and in an effort to recognize and honor them, we are proud to offer our annual Varghese Summersett Down Syndrome Scholarship.
This scholarship is intended for a deserving child with Down syndrome who is in need of financial aid to support educational or recreational opportunities. The award may be used towards a camp, tutoring, education, or other tools to help the student thrive, prosper, and have a fulfilling life.
