Winnie McLaughlin Scholarship

Congratulations 2026 Winnie McLaughlin Scholarship Recipient, Camila De Paula.


Camila De Paula is a rising second-year law student and Daniel Webster Scholar at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law. She served as the 1L Representative for the Domestic and Sexual Violence Victim Advocates, helping organize advocacy and community outreach events, and volunteered as an English tutor for a Ukrainian student as she adapted to a new country.

Please join us in congratulating her on this wonderful achievement. We also invite you to attend our 2026 Fall Reception on Wednesday, October 7th, 2026 at the Barn at Bull Meadow in Concord where we will be presenting this and the Marilla M. Ricker Achievement Award.

The NHWBA, in partnership with University of New Hampshire School of Law, created an endowment to support an academic scholarship awarded to a rising second year law student each year. 

The scholarship is named after Agnes Winifred McLaughlin, the first woman admitted to practice law in New Hampshire on June 30, 1917.

The award criteria include:

    • Demonstrated academic achievement (3.0 GPA or better)*; and
    • Demonstrated commitment to advancing the interests of women in the legal field or broader community.

This collaboration between the NHWBA and the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law is intended to attract talented law students to the New Hampshire legal community who might otherwise accept offers from schools providing better scholarship packages.
