BAR FOUNDATION PUBLIC SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP-
The WV Bar Foundation’s Board of Directors has approved continued funding of its Public Service Scholarship for a quality student at the West Virginia University College of Law.
Pictured above is the rendition of the enlarged and updated Law School building that is currently being re-modeled as part of a vibrant fund raising campaign for the entire University.
The Public Service Scholarship is awarded to a student who has made a commitment to using his or her legal skills and abilities in the area of public service to West Virginia’s citizens. In expressing the College of Law’s appreciation for the Bar Foundation’s financial assistance, Dean Joyce McConnell recently stated that–“WVU Law is experiencing many successes. We have been listed in the Top 100 Law Schools in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, the 15th Best Law School for Public Interest Law-Prelaw Magazine (a National Jurist Publication) and in the Top 40 Best Value Law Schools in the country.” |
