“Helping Law Students Complete the First Year”
Chris and Nancy Rials worked hard to provide their only child, Megan, with unwavering support to pursue her academic dreams. When Megan expressed from a young age that she wanted to learn more outside the classroom, they found supplemental resources to create new and challenging lessons for her studious and insatiable mind. Nancy even homeschooled her after the third grade. As Megan pursued higher education, they noticed the financial struggles of some of her classmates, especially first year law students. So, they decided to honor Megan’s accomplishments and support future students with the Chris and Nancy Rials Endowed Superior Graduate Scholarship.
