FRASER STRYKER TO AWARD DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2008

(Omaha Law Firm Continues to Offer College-Level Scholarships for Students Interested in Law Careers)

(Omaha, NE) – Fraser Stryker is pleased to announce that it will continue to award college-level scholarships in 2008 through the Fraser Stryker Diversity Scholarship Program. The purpose of the Program is to provide college tuition assistance and paid internships at the firm for students of African-American, Asian, Latino and Native-American origins from low-income families in the Omaha metro area. Scholarships are for students who are interested in a career in law.

“We were really pleased by the fine applicants we had during 2007, for our inaugural scholarship year, and our first two Fraser Stryker Scholars are doing well in their first year of college. We want to continue to help talented students of color who need financial help to fulfill their dream of working in the legal field," said Fraser Stryker partner Stephen Bruckner, the Program director. “Our program provides financial aid for college-bound students and also gives our Fraser Stryker Scholars the opportunity to learn about the practice of law by working in our firm during the summer months."

The initial deadline to apply for the 2008 Fraser Stryker Diversity Scholarships is March 7, 2008. Applications are available in the counselor’s office at all Omaha metro high schools and on the firm's website, www.fraserstryker.com. The scholarships are to be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and the equipment incurred by the Scholars to further their education. The firm awarded two scholarships in 2007 and will award two additional scholarships in 2008. Each scholarship will be in the amount of $2,500 per academic year.

Formed in 1898, Fraser Stryker has grown to become a nationally recognized law firm of 50 lawyers who represent local, national and multinational clients in complex business transactions and litigation matters. Fraser Stryker attorneys participate actively in a wide array of community organizations.
