Two Aspiring Lawyers Earn Scholarships for Outstanding Academic Achievement

Since 2022, the Greensboro Bar Association has awarded two scholarships for $2,500.00 each to current Elon Law students.  Students were invited to apply for consideration as one of the student scholarship recipients.

We are pleased to announce and recognize this year’s scholarship recipients.  Our recipients demonstrated a dedication to the Guilford County community and the value they place on their academic excellence. 

Frederick Hulse

Frederick Hulse is a second-year law student at Elon University School of Law. He was born in the UK to two amazing English parents, and has had the privilege of living in New York, North Carolina, the UK, and the Netherlands. Moving so often has given him a unique perspective on different cultures and ways of life, which he carries into his legal studies and professional aspirations.

He has a strong passion for serving his community and has dedicated significant time to pro bono efforts. As the Community Service Chair of the Pro Bono Board, Treasurer of both the Innocence Project and People Not Property Board, and an active member of Phi Alpha Delta, he takes pride in contributing to meaningful causes. With over 100 hours of approved pro bono work, he plans to continue using his legal education to make a difference.

Real estate law has become a major interest of his, and he has gained valuable experience working at various firms in Greensboro. However, as a 2L, he remains open to exploring new areas of law and broadening his expertise. Law school is undoubtedly challenging, but he has fallen in love with the profession and is excited to see where this journey takes him.

Outside of law, he is a devoted Liverpool FC fan and a complete soccer nerd. He also loves spending time with his family and walking their two ancient Yorkies alongside their massive Irish Wolfhound.

With a passion for law, a commitment to service, and a global perspective, he looks forward to building a career where he can make a meaningful impact.
