Woodbury.  Each year the fund will award "two students of the Senior Class who are intending to make law a profession and who have shown by previous college work special attainment and fitness for the study of law."

Recipients of this award will be selected by the faculty Committee on Graduate Fellowships at Dartmouth and will be notified by email.  The stipend will be paid in one installment upon matriculation in your law school program.
