Winnie McLaughlin Scholarship

The NHWBA, in partnership with University of New Hampshire School of Law, created an endowment to support an academic scholarship awarded to a rising second year law student each year. 

The scholarship is named after Agnes Winifred McLaughlin, the first woman admitted to practice law in New Hampshire on June 30, 1917.

The award criteria include:

• Demonstrated academic achievement (3.0 GPA or better)*; and
  
• Demonstrated commitment to advancing the interests of women in the legal field or broader community.

This collaboration between the NHWBA and the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law is intended to attract talented law students to the New Hampshire legal community who might otherwise accept offers from schools providing better scholarship packages.

*This requirement may be modified in the discretion of the committee.
