Congratulations to the three recipients of the 2025 DRI Law Student Diversity Scholarships!

The DRI Foundation has awarded the 2025 Law Student Diversity Scholarships. The foundation provides three law student scholarships annually – one for $10,000 and two for $5,000. The goal of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance to three worthy law students from ABA-accredited law schools to increase diversity in the legal profession in a constructive and tangible way.

The 2025 Law Student Diversity Scholarship recipients include:

  • $10,000 Scholarship: Quiana Snowden, University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law
  • $5,000 Scholarship: Nico Bethea, Suffolk University School of Law
  • $5,000 Scholarship: Carolyn Vaca, Duke University School of Law

The law students attended the DRI Annual Meeting and were recognized at the Diversity/Women in the Law Luncheon. The recipients and all scholarship applicants receive a complimentary year of DRI law student membership.

The Law Student Diversity Scholarship Selection Committee included DRI Foundation President Lori O'Tool, DRI Foundation Vice President Cate Dugan, DRI Board member Stacy Douglas, Diversity and Inclusion Committee Chair Imoh Akpan and Diversity and Inclusion Committee Vice Chair Atoyia Scott Harris.
