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. In turn, in addition to graduating effective and ethical future attorneys, UDC Laws emphasis on recruiting and enrolling students who belong to groups underrepresented at the bar benefits the legal profession by increasing its diversity. 397500 397500 SUMMER FELLOWSHIPS: In 2023, the Foundation provided $397,500 to fund fellowships for 53 UDC Law students participating in the Schools 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. In essays, 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. 262000 262000 BAR STUDY GRANTS: During fiscal year 2023, the Foundation provided $262,000 to fund bar study grants for 30 graduating UDC Law students participating in a structured bar study program. The bar study grant program serves to ease financial stressors and employment-related time commitments during the critical study period prior to the bar exam, combined with ongoing access to the academic guidance and structure necessary to maintain a successful study regimen. 550363 266301 741 1679770 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 0 false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 11 10 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true false false false X Twinette Johnson 2022747400 4340 Connecticut Ave NW Washington DC 20008 X Johnine Barnes Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Claude Bailey Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne Rauh Davis Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Thornton Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Inez Smith Reid Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Abid Qureshi Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Solomon Vice Chair 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jon Bouker Chair 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 William Robinson Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shelly Broderick Development Officer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert P Newman Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 86730 628577 715307 Other Revenue 525990 1121 1121 1121 361127 361127 15660 86730 90598 -74938 -74938 1002617 1121 0 286189 X 1395708 1395708 13459 13459 97661 97661 20217 19106 1111 11829 11829 19291 19291 139523 138736 787 4532 4532 Consultants 6200 1200 5000 Contributions 14888 14888 Clinic Exp 5684 5684 Bank & Brokerage 4227 741 3486 73328 73328 1806547 1679770 117180 9597 277581 199770 64564 63972 4532 4698 11842734 11306157 12189411 11574597 874255 366363 874255 366363 X 693752 689703 10621404 10518531 11315156 11208234 12189411 11574597 -803930 697008 0 X false true X true false X 615586 627529 738979 906578 715307 3603979 615586 627529 738979 906578 715307 3603979 3603979 152352 152356 200687 210836 210370 926601 354400 204259 850655 852401 76940 2338655 6869235 33211 0.52470 0.44490 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6261118 4735 147777 53860 6359770 6931601 307071 -919289 58265 6261118 6500464 333630 158744 61237 6931601 6394546 8000 145774 47856 6500464 6285957 14300 132668 38379 6394546 0.03300 0.96700 false false 1974027 697008 183804 15660 896472 1077555 -74938 -74938 1002617 2080949 183804 90598 274402 1806547 1806547 Other revenues not included on Form 990 (Part XI, line 2d) The amount ($74,938) is fundraising event net income (gross income minus direct expenses).
