Two Law School Students Awarded RCBF Diversity Scholarships

The Ramsey County Bar Foundation recently named 1L Elvis Kim and 2L Khansaa Nadeem as 2018 Diversity Scholarship recipients.

The Ramsey County Bar Association Diversity Committee reviews applications and recommends scholarships for law students based on their academic or professional achievement and leadership potential. Kim and Nadeem were among a group of eight students who received the scholarships this year.

“I am honored that, as a 1L student, I am being recognized for my academic achievement as well as my leadership potential,” Kim said. “I will take this scholarship to heart and continue to advocate for a diverse and welcoming campus in Mondale Hall.”

Nadeem said she is humbled and grateful to have won the scholarship. “Diversity has always been a core component of my life, and scholarships like this show that the society is beginning to understand the value that diversity can bring to an academic and professional setting,” she said. “I look forward to completing my education at the Law School, and providing benefit with my law degree to the greater society.”
