Atlanta-area college and high school students interested in a career in business, law or medicine are encouraged to apply for a scholarship.

The Simmons Law Memorial Scholarship is offered by the Simmons Law firm. It honors the memory of the late Rev. Booker T. Simmons; James Taylor, Sr.; Irene Taylor and Michael Simmons. The Rev. Simmons and the Taylors are the grandparents of the owner of the Simmons Law firm, Tiffany Simmons. Michael Simmons is her uncle.

Those applying must write an essay with the title "Do All Lives Matter?" and send it to the Simmons Law firm.

Applications and essays for the scholarship should be sent to:

400 Colony Square, Suite 1100

1201 Peachtree St NE Atlanta, GA 30361 info@slfirmllc.com

"My grandparents believed in helping people. My uncle believed in helping people. They saw the dignity of all human life. I want to know what your thoughts about this are. I want to know what you think," Ms. Simmons said.

The deadline for applications is Jan. 29, 2016.

"The Rev. Simmons dedicated his life to God and helping people to a better way to live," Ms. Simmons said. The Rev. also owned a grocery store.

"Granddad Simmons fed people in their soul and their body," Ms. Simmons said. "He was such an inspiration to me."

"The idea of helping other people is a thread that links everyone whom the scholarship honors", she said.

Mr. Taylor died from kidney failure. Michael Simmons died of leukemia two days after Thanksgiving 2015. Mrs. Taylor owned a hair salon in Grand Rapids, MI, for 50+ years, despite not graduating from high school. In later years, she did earn a GED. She died of a rare health condition.

"This is why an interest in medicine is a scholarship requirement. I hope that some student who receives this money will develop a breakthrough treatment and save lives," Ms. Simmons said. "The business is because of my grandparents' businesses. The law part of the scholarship is because I am a lawyer."
