TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS: During academic year 2024-25, the Foundation provided $310,978 to fund scholarships for 59 UDC Law students. Scholarships were awarded by UDC Law in varied amounts based on academic merit, personal accomplishments, and financial need. Scholarships benefit students by easing the financial burden of law school, allowing them to devote more time to their studies and, by reducing educational debt, increasing their future employment options. Scholarships benefit UDC Law by helping it to recruit and retain talented and public interest-oriented students who become effective and ethical attorneys.

SUMMER FELLOWSHIPS: In 2025, the Foundation provided $185,625 to fund fellowships for 26 UDC Law students participating in UDC Laws Summer Public Interest Fellowship Program. Fellows spend the summer semester in a not-for-profit public interest, governmental or judicial office, performing law-related work under the supervision of an attorney. Students reflect on their experiences as a means of fostering their professional development. Through their summer placements, students build substantive expertise and commitment, make valuable professional contacts, and provide legal services to individuals, organizations and communities who otherwise could not afford a lawyer.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
