In keeping with UDC Law's commitment to providing access to groups underrepresented at the bar and preparing students for careers in the public interest, the law school provided several scholarships this academic year. This is a partial list.
Amare and Ava Scholarship: Founded by Adjunct Professor and bar coach in the UDC Law Academic Success Program Genet Amare ’17, the Amare and Ava Scholarship supports parents and legal guardians in law school who demonstrate financial need. The scholarship is named after her father and her daughter to honor the roles they’ve played in her own success.
David C. Niblack Scholarship: Established to honor the memory of criminal defense attorney and UDC Law Professor David C. Niblack, this scholarship is awarded annually to students who are committed to a career in criminal defense.
Eleanor Holmes Norton Legacy Fund: Named to acknowledge Congresswoman Norton’s longstanding championship of universal human and civil rights, this prestigious scholarship is awarded annually to a law school student who demonstrates a passion for and deep commitment to public service.
McMillan Stewart Access Scholarship: This scholarship was established to honor the memory of Rep. John R. Lewis and to support of UDC Law students by the Geneviève McMillan-Reba Stewart Foundation.
Simi Cares Scholarship: The Simi Cares Scholarship is awarded each year to the law student who proposes the most impactful service project. The recipient will then work with law school administration and the UDC Law community to coordinate the #SimiCares Annual Day of Service to engage first year law students in an act of service that will benefit the DC community.
