The Alexandra Korry Scholarship, established in 2020, will be awarded annually to a promising student who shows interest in pursuing a career in law, social justice, public service, or a related field. The scholarship will include a stipend towards college expenses and, if applicable, law school or graduate school, as well as mentorship by the Korry Scholarship Committee, comprised of prominent lawyers and judges.<\/p>\n
The Scholarship was established by HEAF to honor the extraordinary legacy of Alexandra Davern Korry, a trailblazing lawyer, educator, and civil rights champion, who chaired HEAF\u2019s Board of Directors during some of its formative years. Alexandra left an indelible mark on HEAF, helping to energize the organization, sharpen its programs and vision, and broaden its reach. For many years, Alexandra also taught an introductory law class to HEAF students, and led our legal mentorship efforts, among her many other philanthropic and educational endeavors. Alexandra was a top partner at the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell for many years, and one of the leading M&A lawyers in the United States. She was among the first women senior partners of a major Wall Street firm and worked tirelessly to break barriers and create opportunities for women and other under-represented groups. In a tribute to Alexandra, the United States Commission on Civil Rights, whose New York Advisory Committee she chaired, noted her outsized impact in advancing civil rights, including helping to end solitary confinement of youth in New York and working on police accountability and educational equity.<\/p>\n
The Scholarship will be administered by the Korry Scholarship Committee, which will select one or more recipients each year and determine their awards. The goal of the Scholarship is to build on Alexandra\u2019s legacy of excellence and public service and to inspire the next generation of leaders with her passion for social justice and education.<\/p>\n
