Congratulations to the 2009 LAGBAC Foundation Scholarship Winners.
The LAGBAC Foundation is proud to announce the 2009 Summer Scholarship awardees. Through generous donations we are able to award scholarships to two LGBTQ law students who will spend this summer learning and working at organizations that tirelessly work to gain civil rights for us, the LGBTQ Community. A $3000 stipend will be awarded to each of two recipients.
Chris Carlson will be a second year student at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. He is a legal intern at Equality Illinois. Among other things, Chris is working to get the Civil Unions bill passed in Illinois.
William Lopez will be a second year at Chicago-Kent College of Law. William is interning with Lambda Legal, where he will be serving the LGBTQ community through high-impact litigation. Among other things, William assists attorneys with legal writing and research, as well as taking calls for the Lambda Legal Help Desk.
Congratulations to all of our 2009 recipients. Not only will you spend the summer of 2009 doing interesting and challenging work, you will be fighting for LGBTQ equality.
