THE ADVOCATE 561
VOL. 80 PART 4 JULY 2022
for First Nations, Inuit or Métis students of Canada in the second or third
year of the J.D. program.
The Peter A. Allard School of Law Entrance Award for Black Students,
first announced in February 2022, will provide an award in the value of firstyear
tuition to one Black law student each year for the next three years.
Financial need may be considered. This award is supported by an anonymous
donor.
The Peter A. Allard School of Law Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Award will provide awards to incoming J.D. law students who are from
communities that have been historically, persistently and systemically
marginalized. Launched in February 2022, this award is supported by
alumni, donors and friends of the law school, who have made $2,050 available
for students. We hope to see the available funding grow as donations
continue to be accepted.
The St. Pierre, Romilly, Nathanson Entrance Award in Law for Black
Students was announced in June 2021. This entrance award provides
$15,000 for three domestic students entering the J.D. program who identify
as Black, demonstrate financial need and have a history of community service
or volunteerism. Preference is given to students who have demonstrated
an interest in criminal law. This award, funded by the Honourable Judge
David St. Pierre, the Honourable Selwyn Romilly (B.A. 1963, LL.B. 1966),
Matthew Nathanson (LL.B. 1997) and two anonymous donors, may be
included as part of an admissions offer.
Thank you to the generous donors who have made these awards possible.
