Thank you to our sponsors of the AWAF's 3rd Annual Business Development Bootcamp

This year's bootcamp allowed more than 80 young attorneys to learn from and network with various in-house counsel from a variety of industries.

Through your generous donations, the AWAF raised over $140,000 to fund pro bono fellowships for recent Houston-area women law graduates and scholarships for women law students.

Scholarships

Each year the AWA Foundation awards scholarships to deserving second- and third-year women law students in Houston, Texas. The awards are presented at the AWAF Premier Women in Law Luncheon in the Spring. 

Fellowships 
The AWA Foundation Pro Bono Fellowship Program is a full-time paid attorney position with one of the AWAF’s Fellowship partners, the Houston Volunteer Lawyers and Tahirih Justice Center. Each organization interviews and selects one fellow who indicate an interest in dedicating their first year of practice to pro bono service.
