On Friday, April 19, Chapman Law held its annual Scholarship Awards Luncheon and reception honoring the achievements of this year’s scholarship recipients. The reception was attended by scholarship recipients and their family members, as well as Dean Tom Campbell, Assistant Dean Bowdich, faculty members and scholarship sponsors.

Ski Harrison and Kim Thompson, partners at Rutan & Tucker, were both present to see firsthand the benefits of the Rutan & Tucker Scholarship. Minhquan Nguyen (2L), recipient of the Rutan & Tucker Golden Quill Scholarship, said the best part of the reception was getting the opportunity to express his gratitude to them.

Near the end of the reception, each scholarship recipient expressed how thankful they were and also talked about how their respective scholarships will help them pursue their goals.

“My scholarship was positive proof that I could be good at something in law school,” stated Minhquan. “Everyone goes to law school hoping to leave a mark and prove that their acceptance wasn’t a fluke– that they really deserve to be there. A scholarship represents a student’s drive, hard work, and talent all in one, because without all three in tandem, you can’t win a scholarship,” he added.
