The Distinguished Law Fellowship program continues to offer some of the School of Law’s brightest minds unparalleled opportunities – including financial aid and experiences including externships, research opportunities and networking with top legal, business and government leaders – as they pursue their law degrees.

Over the past year, fellowship recipients were invited to a number of events such as a chance to speak with then-U.S. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and other members of the legal community.

Additionally, first-year Distinguished Law Fellows met with members of the law school’s administration and had the opportunity to connect with many of their benefactors at receptions.

Initially established in 2016 by a gift from The John N. Goddard Foundation, the Distinguished Law Fellowship program currently has the ability to offer more than 25 full-tuition-plus scholarships. The program is modeled after the university’s prestigious Foundation Fellows initiative, which was established in 1972.
