Award Recipients

In 2025, the FCBA Foundation selected 22 students from Washington, DC public high schools for merit and need-based awards and college scholarships to be distributed over four years of matriculation. Also, the Foundation awarded scholarships to seven law school students and stipends to six law school students who have accepted unpaid public service internships in communications-related agencies for the summer. None of these awards would be possible without the generous support of the FCBA’s members and the organizations in which they work. We thank you for your generosity!
