Lifeguard Heroes Scholarship

When the weather gets warm, lifeguards are tasked with saving people from drowning at swimming pools, resorts, beaches, and lakes. This job demands vigilance and the ability to jump into action at a moment’s notice.

As advocates for the families of drowning victims, The Doan Law Firm knows that a quick response from a trained attendant can make all the difference. We are opening the Lifeguard Heroes Scholarship to support current and former lifeguards who are pursuing a college degree. Each semester, we will award five students with scholarships in the amount of $1000.
