GAWL Foundation Scholarships

Proceeds raised by the Annual GAWL Foundation Charity Auction fund annual scholarship awards for deserving female law students in Georgia.

The Scholarships are intended to:

Recognize women law students who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and an aptitude for leadership and philanthropy;

Promote excellence in legal studies by providing assistance to deserving students; and

Advance the missions of both the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers and the GAWL Foundation, including: enhancing the welfare and development of women lawyers and supporting their interests; and encouraging philanthropy by women lawyers in Georgia for the benefit of the greater community.

Criteria include:  Academic achievement, leadership, community service, and philanthropic potential, and a strong commitment to the profession. Involvement in programs that advance or support women in the profession and in the community are given particular consideration. 

If you are interested in serving on the Scholarships Committee, please contact Cheryl Legare or Janine Bowen.

Please plan to join us for this year's Charity Auction, raising funds for the Foundation scholarships, on March 20, 2010!
