DONATING TO THE WMACCA CORPORATE SCHOLARS FUND
WMACCA created the Corporate Scholars Program in 2004 to introduce students from the law schools in the DC-metro area to in-house practice, a career option about which they might not have much information. In addition, the Corporate Scholars Program is designed to develop a "diversity pipeline,” providing opportunities for populations within law schools that may lack access to and/or knowledge of in-house practice. Our definition of diversity is very broad, encompassing not only the ideas of gender, race, and ethnicity, but also concepts of socioeconomic background and the student's individual education and career path. This competitive program has been very successful in its first four years, placing 26 students in summer internships.
Seed money for the Program was provided in 2004 and 2005 by generous grants from the Minority Corporate Counsel Association. Each year, WMACCA also has earmarked a portion of the proceeds from its sponsorships for the Scholars Program. WMACCA established a non-profit foundation (501(c)(3)) through The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region to financially support the administration of the program by providing scholarships to the participants in the program.
