George V. Powell Diversity Scholarship

Lane Powell has more than 135 years of commitment to our communities. This commitment is reflected in Lane Powell’s hiring and promotion of women and individuals from diverse backgrounds. As part of this commitment to diversity, our Firm has created the George V. Powell Diversity Scholarship. The George V. Powell Scholar will be a 2012 summer associate in the Firm’s Seattle or Portland office and receive a $7,500 scholarship toward tuition and expenses during the student’s third year of law school.
