Who Can Apply:
- Dorothea Elaine was a beloved grandmother who led an admirable life and is dearly missed by her family, friends, and loved ones.
- Although Dorothea left college early to marry and raise her family, she always emphasized the importance of education and encouraged those around her to pursue their goals. Her sacrifices created opportunities for future generations, and her family is grateful to be the fruits of her dedication and love. Dorothea was passionate about uplifting people and constantly inspired those around her to become the best versions of themselves, both in academics and in their personal lives. In today’s economy, not everyone can afford to go after their dreams. As college becomes increasingly inaccessible to students with limited funds, Dorothea would want to be a source of aid for the next generation.
- This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Dorothea Elaine by supporting students who are pursuing their graduate studies.
- Any Black, female law student who is a resident of Tennessee or Florida may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
