Ann Forman Scholarship

The Travis County Women Lawyers Association Scholarship Fund created the Ann Forman Scholarship in 2011 to honor the contributions of attorney Ann Dinsmore Forman to the Austin legal community and to the children of Texas.  The scholarship, under the auspices of the Travis County Women Lawyers Association Scholarship Fund, Inc., is in the amount of $2,500.00.

Ann Forman died on January 28, 2010 after a long and brave battle against breast cancer.  She was an Assistant District Attorney with the Travis County District Attorney’s office for many years, handling child welfare cases.  Throughout her career, Ann was known for her intelligence, compassion, commitment to justice, and integrity in advocating for children.  She mentored many attorneys in child welfare law and set an example for all those who worked with her.  Through her work and her mentoring, Ann improved the lives of children and their families, and the community.

The Ann Forman Scholarship is awarded annually to a 2^nd or 3^rd-year law student attending the UT School of Law.  The scholarship committee considers each candidate’s interest and aptitude in child welfare law, related community service, and financial need.
