Recently Dean Pearce sent out an email with applications and information about four different scholarships opportunities. Please read below.
The Todd A. Morrison International Scholarship is awarded to law students who have lived outside of the United States for three or four years (with greater preference going to those who have lived outside the U.S.A. for longer periods).
The Paul D. Brunner Memorial Scholarship is awarded to law students who have demonstrated an interest in civil rights law, who have financial need, and who are from educationally or culturally disadvantaged backgrounds. The Paul D. Brunner Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by Marlene Brunner in memory of her son, Paul D. Brunner, who was a member of the class of 2007.
Paul was beginning his third year of law school at the College of Law when he died unexpectedly
on September 20, 2006. He was raised in Scribner, Nebraska, and graduated with a BS in
Criminal Justice from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. During law school, he attended the
summer study abroad program in Cambridge, England, worked in Chicago, and provided pro bono
assistance for victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. He was vice-president of the Black
Law Students Association. Paul had planned to pursue a career in civil rights after graduation.
The John M. Gradwohl-Nebraska Council of School Attorneys Scholarship and the Harold I. Mosher Scholarship are awarded based on scholastic ability and financial need, with preference given to students with a demonstrated interest in education/school law and to students who are former public school teachers or administrators. There is a single application for both the Mosher and Gradwohl-Nebraska Council of School Attorneys scholarships.
The John M. Gradwohl-Nebraska Council of School Attorneys Scholarship Fund was established
by the Nebraska Council of School Attorneys to recognize Professor Gradwohl for his many
contributions to the organization and improvement of the practice of school law in Nebraska.
The Harold I. Mosher Scholarship was established by the friends of Harold I. Mosher to
recognize Mr. Mosher, a 1962 graduate of the College of Law, on the occasion of his retirement
after 31 years with the office of the Nebraska Attorney General and for his many contributions to
the State of Nebraska and the practice of law.
Applications for each scholarship are available from Dean Pearce. Please return completed applications to the Dean’s office, or to Dean Pearce electronically, by August 1, 2014.
