IU McKinney now has a Diversity Scholarship, established in 2020 and awarded to J.D. students with a preference for students of color. It is made possible because of the generous donations of alumni and friends of the law school. This scholarship welcomes gifts of all amounts from alumni and supporters.

IU McKinney Dean Karen E. Bravo says that she remembers feelings of joy, apprehension, and determination to succeed when she began her legal studies as a first-generation immigrant from Jamaica and the first in her family to pursue a law degree.

“The transformative power of a law school education provided me with tremendous opportunities, including the incredible privilege of leading the IU McKinney School of Law,” Dean Bravo said. “I am so pleased that the Diversity Scholarship was established to extend opportunities to students of color to pursue their dreams of a law school education. IU McKinney is wonderfully positioned to help students thrive as they build the foundations of their legal career.”
