The Woodruff Scholarship gave me the opportunity to attend law school without having the constant thought of ‘How will I pay my loans back?’ Additionally, the experience I had when meeting other finalists and classmates was a truly heartwarming experience that I will cherish forever.

I am so grateful for the Woodruff Scholarship because it not only represents financial support, but also validation of my hard work and potential. I was lucky enough to meet one of my best friends during the scholarship weekend and have been exposed to some amazing networking opportunities.
