This fund was established by classmates of Ryan as a lasting memorial to their departed friend. Ryan LoProto was a second-year law student who died in July 2005 while attending the Law Center’s summer program in Lyon, France. A fund has been established which donors may contribute toward the eventual establishment of a $10,000 endowed scholarship. Once established, this scholarship will provide financial assistance to a second-year law student attending the summer program in Lyon who embodies Ryan’s outstanding integrity, leadership, and willingness to put others first.
