The grant will provide scholarships and help with living expenses for students from Liberia to study at Indiana University.

Jallah Barbu and Chan-Chan Paegar, both law graduates and practicing lawyers in Monrovia and the first Firestone grant recipients, are joined this year by Betty Blamo, a graduate of the University of Liberia’s law school and a practicing lawyer. Blamo also is a member of the executive council of the Liberian National Bar Association.

Once their studies at Indiana are completed, the students will return with advanced degrees to join the faculty of the Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law of the University of Liberia.
