Arc Fellows

As partners of the Arc to Justice program, law firms support the College of Law's efforts to enhance justice for all people, especially from underrepresented populations. The program provides three-year, full tuition scholarships (Arc Fellowships) to two members of our incoming JD class. In addition to helping underwrite the cost of legal education, the program works to integrate diverse students into the legal community—which is particularly important as many diverse students are first generation lawyers who have never been exposed to our profession or its members.
