Scholarships
The Lisa Atlas Genecov and Dr. Jeffery S. Genecov Endowed Presidential Scholarship provides three $3,750 scholarships for three 2L, 3L, or LLM Texas Law students with a demonstrated commitment to advancing women’s leadership. This includes legal work in nonprofit, pro bono, government, and/or legislative settings.
The Wayne B. Duddlesten, Sr./Center for Women in Law Endowment for Excellence Fellowship was established by the Wayne B. Duddlesten Foundation to support 2L or 3L Texas Law students of high academic achievement with a preference given to individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing women’s leadership.
