Stegner Center Student Scholarship Recipients and Writing Awards

Posted on September 29, 2017 by Jonelle White

The Stegner Center oversees a rich array of scholarships, fellowships, and awards for College of Law students, ranging from cash awards for outstanding papers to fellowships that combine financial and scholarship support with clerkships and job placements upon graduation. This year’s scholarship recipients include the following individuals:

The Patrick O’Hara Fellowship was awarded to Thomas Kessinger. The fellowship was created in honor of Patrick O’ Hara, an attorney and 1982 law school graduate who worked with the Natural Resources Division of the Utah Attorney General’s Office, where he was dedicated to the sensible management of Utah’s natural resources. The O’Hara Fellowship provides comprehensive financial support and mentoring to promising natural resources law students and young lawyers. The program contains three parts: a summer clerkship; a law school merit scholarship; and a two-year position practicing natural resources law in the Attorney General’s Office after graduation.

The Robert Schmid Natural Resources Writing Award went to Chaunceton Bird for “Growth and Legal Implications of Energy Storage Technologies.” The Schmid Award was established to permanently acknowledge Professor Robert Schmid’s service to students and his contributions to the natural resources field. The fund provides an annual cash award to the student who writes the best paper on a natural resources topic.

The Dewsnup Fellowship in Natural Resources Law was awarded to Gavin Wenzel.  The Dewsnup Fellowship is provided through the generosity of Calvin E. Clark (J.D. ’56) to honor his good friend and classmate, Richard L. Dewsnup, the first Solicitor General of the State of Utah and an outstanding natural resources lawyer. The fellowship recipient receives a grant for the second year of law school and a paid summer clerkship with the chief of the Natural Resources Division of the Attorney General’s Office.

The Edward W. & Betha J. Clyde Scholarship in Natural Resources Law was awarded to Gordon Rowe. In 1998, Betha J. Clyde gave a gift to the University of Utah College of Law that provides funding to support student participation in Wallace Stegner Center programs. The fund carries her name and that of her late husband, Edward W. Clyde (J.D. ’42), a highly regarded water law expert.

The Ali Reza Khazeni Fellowship in Environmental Law went to Catherine Danley, Connor Plant, and Gordon Rowe. The Fellowship was established by the Khazeni family in memory of Reza Ali Khazeni, who was committed to nature conservation and preservation of the environment. The fellowship provides an award to students who work for a governmental agency or non-profit environmental organization.

The Anderson Fellowship in Oil & Gas went to current Kody Condos. The Anderson Fellowship in Oil & Gas is provided through the generosity of the Anderson Hatch Foundation, in honor of G.W. Anderson, known by his peers as “a pioneer in Utah’s oil and gas industry.” The Fellowship provides a scholarship and a paid summer internship in the Oil and Gas Law practice group of Holland and Hart LLP.
