Together for Good

A Mission Shaped by Community

The Foundation is pleased to offer this grant in honor of late Foundation Board member Armonica Gilford. The grant is available to students in their final year at one of the three Oregon law schools who demonstrate a commitment to the Foundation’s mission through their life, work, volunteer, or educational experience and who intend to continue that commitment in Oregon. Applicants who have received different grants from the Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation may also apply for the Armonica Law Student Grant.

Women and members of other historically underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
