Embracing Diversity Scholarship Fund

The Embracing Diversity Scholarship Fund provides support for the College of Law to advance the education and awareness of current students, alumni and friends on or about issues of socio-economic diversity. The ED Fund awards a College of Law student a scholarship to help in the support of the student’s work in creating a socio-economic diversity series. During the Day of Giving, an anonymous donor will match all gifts, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000!
