Karol Dixon Receives Indian Bar Scholarship

Karol Dixon, an Athabascan from the Native Village of Shageluk and a former clerk with the Native American Rights Fund, was honored with a scholarship in recognition of her commitment to academic excellence and advancing the rights of Pacific Northwest Indian people.

The Northwest Indian Bar Association (NIBA) presented scholarships to Northwest Native law students as part of an ongoing effort to support Indian students seeking a legal education.

The scholarship monies are raised and distributed through NIBA and the Washington State Bar Association Indian Law Section's joint venture, the award-winning Indian Legal Scholars Program. NIBA works to increase the number of Indian attorneys in the Pacific Northwest through legal education and advocacy.
