The Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation announces that it has awarded the 2010-2011 Armonica Grants to the following law students: Erin McKee (Lewis and Clark Law School), Elizabeth Wooten (University of Oregon Law School), and Veronica Digman-McNassar (Willamette University School of Law).
The Armonica Law Student Grant Program is awarded in honor of late Foundation Board member Armonica Gilford. The grant is available to 3rd year law students attending the three Oregon law schools who can demonstrate a commitment to the Foundation’s goals through an essay about their personal, volunteer, or educational experience. Ethnic minorities and women are encouraged to apply. Annually, one recipient is selected from each of the law schools to receive a text book grant in the amount of $500. In addition to the monetary grant, each recipient is matched with an ethnic minority female judge or attorney, who serves as the student’s mentor for the year. The Foundation thanks Judges Darleen Ortega, Adrienne Nelson, and Youlee You for serving as the mentors for the 2010-2011 Armonica Grant recipients.
