Best Best & Krieger LLP, in partnership with the Association of California Water Agencies, is pleased to introduce the Arthur L. Littleworth Best Best & Krieger Diversity Scholarship. This annual program was established in 2022 in honor of the late Art Littleworth, a longtime BB&K partner, water law and policy visionary, and respected civil rights advocate. Through this program, BB&K and ACWA will annually award one $10,000 scholarship, disbursed evenly over a four-year period, to a qualified undergraduate student of diverse or underrepresented background who, by demonstrating a passion for and career trajectory in water law, and commitment to diversity and inclusion, will bolster public administration in California. The recipient will also receive mentorship opportunities with BB&K. Scholarship funds will not be disbursed to the recipient directly, but to the appropriate financial aid office in the sum of $2500 per year and must be applied to the student's account for tuition and fees. Scholarship funds should not be transferred directly to the student or be used for any other purpose. The recipient will be responsible for providing materials in March of each year that demonstrate they are still eligible to receive the scholarship funds. If a scholarship recipient fails to meet the terms of this scholarship in any way, the award may be rescinded.
