Ronald Kakungulu (right) was the recipient of a Law Foundation Graduate Fellowship to aid him during his studies towards an LL.M. He is pictured here with Naayeli E. Ramirez E. (left) who is completing a Ph.D. at UBC Law. Naayeli received a Ph.D. Tuition Fee Award this year. Thank you to all our donors who support the graduate program - these awards make a huge difference at UBC law and in an era of rapidly increasing educational costs, many highly deserving graduate students would not be able to pursue graduate studies without your support.

We were delighted that three representatives of the Law Foundation of British Columbia were present at the Law Award Donor Reception this year.  Mr. Wayne Robertson, Executive Director; Ms. karima budhwani, Program Director; and Mr. Warren Wilson, QC, Chair of the Law Foundation’s Board of Governors were available to congratulate many student award winners who had received support from the Foundation. 

These awards encourage greater representation in law school, attract top applicants to our programs and reward outstanding academic performance.  We would like to thank the Law Foundation of BC for their generous support.
