OCU Law is one of only two law schools in the country to offer the prestigious Sumners Scholarship, awarded to high-achieving students who have a demonstrable commitment to leadership and service. Each year, dozens of admitted students apply before they begin their 1L year, and 3 to 4 students are selected. This fall, we welcomed four new Sumners Scholars as part of the 1L class: Ashlyn Darter, Chelsea Maxwell, Olivia Golob and Ellie Wolthuis.
The Sumners Scholars program has been a part of the OCU Law experience for decades and now boasts hundreds of successful alumni. We are grateful to the Sumners Foundation for their continued support of OCU Law! Read more about these students and the 2L and 3L Sumners Scholars: https://buff.ly/EdhuXpG
