“I have dreamed of attending law school since I was 15 years old, and with the assistance of this scholarship, I have been given the opportunity to fulfill that aspiration in an incredibly encouraging, stimulating, and positive environment. As someone who often worried about how I would be able to afford law school, this feels incredible.”
