The Eugene H. Austin Scholarship

Are you a full-time dad who has full custody of your children? Are you in need of some financial assistance to put your child through college? We want to make your life a little easier. Apply for The Micklin Law Group’s Men and Fathers Custody scholarship and you may receive a $1000 award to spend on your child’s education.

We offer this award in honor of the late Judge Eugene H. Austin, Brad Micklin’s professional mentor and friend. Judge Austin took a chance on Brad by offering him the incredible opportunity to serve as his judicial law clerk over the application of thousands of other applicants.

The judge’s fatherly advice over the years helped shape Brad’s career, and Brad is forever grateful for his guidance. In his honor, The Micklin Law Group is pleased to offer single fathers the Honorable Eugene H. Austin annual scholarship fund.

As a family law attorney who has focused on men’s and fathers’ rights for over 20 years, Brad Micklin has seen the challenges fathers face, especially in a world where mothers and their needs are often prioritized. Not every child has a loving and involved father. We want to honor dads who stick by their child’s side and provide them the best possible life. No child should be prevented from obtaining an education because of their family’s current financial situation.
