Maria Dias Maria "Alice" Dias LLM '19, Maher Scholarship Donor

"Giving back to the LLM Scholarship Fund is my way of contributing to talented students who follow me in having the best year of their lives at Duke Law!"

Lin Chua Lin Chua LLM '00, Horowitz Scholarship Donor

"So many important relationships or milestones in my 20 year career lead back to Duke in some way. The Duke International LLM Program is a key part of who I am. It defines me, and I want to “pay it forward” so others can also be a part of this unique community and experience."

Mengyu Lu Mengyu Lu LLM ’08, Scholarship Donor

“Over the past 10 years, I worked very hard as a lawyer, and now, I'm running my own practice, so I think it's time to give back. I want to help students, because I think there are many students who really need financial support or who are just like me, who want some independence.”
