| BAR FOUNDATION GRANTS The Bar Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has approved the continuation of its Public Service Scholarship for a student at the WVU College of Law. The full tuition and fees scholarship is awarded to a law student, selected by a faculty committee, who has a commitment to pursuing a legal career in public service. Previous individuals have worked in legal aid offices, served as a clerk for a Federal Appeals Court Judge and handled public interest legal cases. This latest grant is the 63rd provided since the first Bar Foundation grant in 2004 and brings the total amount to more than $313,000, with almost $300,000 of it occurring in just the past nine years. In addition, six grants from Lunch and Laughs events have generated more than $57,000 for public education and law student scholarships. The 63 grants are in the following categories: Public Education-$80,884 (24 Grants)
Congratulations to the judges, lawyers, state organizations and community leaders, who have made tax deductible contributions to the Bar Foundation, which make these grants to help our citizens meet their needs!
