RALEIGH – Campbell Law School rising third-year students Melissa Botiglione and Tara Mochrie have been both awarded Wake County Bar Association (WCBA) Memorial Scholarships for the upcoming academic year. Botiglione will also receive the 2017-18 Sarah Parker Scholarship Award from the North Carolina Association of Women Attorneys (NCAWA).
Botiglione is a native of Matthews, N.C., while Mochrie hails from nearby Cary, N.C.
Botiglione and Mochrie both formally received their $4,000 WCBA awards at the organization’s annual monthly luncheon on Tuesday, June 6. Only three total WCBA scholarships were awarded, with Campbell Law students snagging two.
Botiglione will be recognized and receive her honor from the NCAWA at the organization’s annual conference on August 18. The award is named in honor of former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Sarah Parker, who also previously served on the Campbell Law Board of Visitors.
The NCAWA has nine chapters throughout the state, each hosting local meetings and networking events. Campbell Law Director of Student Life and Pro Bono Opportunities Monica Webb serves as current NCAWA President.
