Celebrating the Benson Memorial Scholarship

RES GESTAE | Winter 2022

By Kevin Carrillo.

On November 8, donors, family members and friends met at the College of Law and online to celebrate the memorial scholarship that has been established to recognize the life and contributions of Judge Dee Benson.

The attendees included Benson’s children, as well as his twin brother and his dear friend Judge Paul Warner, both of whom spoke, and many of his past clerks. The attendees also met Heather Budge Robison and Zachary Scott, the first recipients of the scholarship.

To date, over 120 donors and 16 firms and organizations have donated $231,000 to the endowed scholarship. Contribution can be made here.
