Tell Me About The Providence Ebubechi Memorial Foundation Law Scholarship:

There is immense power in the legal profession, yet it remains one of the most difficult fields for underrepresented students to enter, limiting the diversity of voices shaping the system. While many industries lack representation, the legal field faces one of the most striking disparities—only 5% of lawyers are Black or African American, and an even smaller percentage hold leadership positions such as law firm partners. Systemic barriers, including structural racism, individual biases, and the racial wealth gap, create ongoing challenges that impact access and opportunity.

This law scholarship, established in honor of Providence Ebubechi Napoleon, seeks to make the legal field more diverse and just by supporting the next generation of Black changemakers.
