A new scholarship established by Pam Flowers in memory of her husband, W. Harold 鈥淪onny鈥� Flowers Jr. 鈥�71, aims to give incoming 1Ls a boost while encouraging them to open doors for others in need throughout their legal careers.
It was important to establish a scholarship at Colorado Law as Sonny always felt strongly that the support of the law school faculty and staff was instrumental to him earning his law degree, which set him on a life course that allowed him to positively impact others鈥� lives, Pam explained.
鈥淐olorado Law allowed him to do his best, so that his clients could deal with their legal issues in a way that helped them see their path to a better future鈥攐ne in which they could succeed. He loved working with underserved and minority clients, often young people. He loved to be seen as both a role model and as someone they could count on for support, just as he felt he was supported by the law school,鈥� she said.
The scholarship provides $5,000 each year for an incoming 1L student with financial need. Preference is given to underrepresented students, including those who are from geographic areas and socioeconomic backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the field of law, first-generation college students, and students who have faced unusual
adversity.
