The "Dean's List"

The WLAM Foundation’s primary mission is to provide scholarship support to outstanding women law students at each of Michigan’s five law schools.

Each spring, the Foundation makes financial awards to women law students on the basis of their demonstrated leadership capabilities, community service in such areas as family law, child advocacy or domestic violence, commitment to diversity, and potential for advancing the position of women in society.  Candidates for the award may be full or part-time students at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Michigan State University Detroit College of Law, Wayne State University Law School, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, or University of Michigan Law School.

The amount awarded annually has grown substantially, from $500 given to each of five students in 1998, to $25,000 awarded to 10 students in 2012.

The substantial increase in award money available is due to generous contributions by the members of the WLAMF Dean’s List.  In 2012, substantial donations were received from the Albert & Doris Pitt Foundation, the Culinary Challenge Committee, General Motors, Barris, Sott, Denn & Driker, PLLC, Bodman, LLP, Carole Chiamp, Dickinson Wright Women's Network, Dykema Gossett PLLC, Eisenber & Associates, P.C., Hon. Elizabeth Gleicher, Margaret Sind Raben, Schoenherr, Cahill & Warnez, PC, Kathleen Bogas and Talarico & Associates PC.
