For the first time, CR Legal Team will offer the Beverly Babson Sanders Building Healthier Communities Scholarship in honor of the late Beverly Sanders, a CR Team Member who spent her career as a Registered Nurse working to develop healthier communities by promoting access for all residents. The ideal candidate for this scholarship is one who is pursuing a career in nursing, medicine, dentistry, public health or other healthcare services that aid in promoting health and wellness initiatives within our communities.

For the first time this year, CR Legal Team will also offer the CR Legal Team Law in Action Scholarship to a student who is currently enrolled in an accredited law school or other type of legal education and who aspires to become an agent of change inside and outside of the courtroom.
