The Joel Donovan KC Law Scholarships
Durham Law School is a socially inclusive law school. It has a mission of social mobility for all, regardless of background. The School is one of the top performing departments in the University’s access and participation ambition, with 31.64% of its entrants identifying as Black UK domiciled students (2023 -2024). It seeks to attract and then enable young scholars to meet their aspirations by removing economic obstacles that may stand in their way. Its distinguished alumni support this mission. I am, therefore, delighted that alumnus Joel Donovan KC has established this generous scholarship to support three UK Black Heritage Students to pursue undergraduate study at Durham Law School. I cordially invite all eligible to apply for it.
