Firm establishes $25K land use and zoning scholarship at Detroit Mercy Law
Detroit-based land use, business, and denominational trust law firm Dalton & Tomich has established the Dalton & Tomich PLC Expendable Scholarship Fund for Land Use and Zoning at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
The scholarship was announced by co-founding partner Daniel Dalton, Detroit Mercy Law class of 1990 and long-time member of the Dean's Advisory Board at Detroit Mercy Law.
“I remember how appreciative I was to receive a scholarship as a law school student and am pleased to give back to the institution that played such a vital role in helping me develop the legal career I’ve built today,” Dalton said.
“Speaking on behalf of our firm, we are happy to give this gift for the specific purpose of land use and zoning to assist future attorneys in pursuing legal work that is engaging, challenging and fulfilling.”
The scholarship, an expendable fund, will allow Detroit Mercy Law to maintain the affordability and quality of its programs by offering greater financial resources to its students. Students interested in land use and zoning careers can qualify for the scholarship based on financial aid or merit. Detroit Mercy Law Dean Jelani Jefferson Exum expressed her gratitude for the scholarship.
“I’m grateful to the professionals at Dalton & Tomich PLC for this generous scholarship and am confident it will be of great benefit to students with an interest in planning and zoning who want to continue their legal education and practice in this area,” Jefferson Exum said.
The scholarship, which is available to students for the 2022-2023 academic year, will be awarded over five years, with $5,000 distributed per year, limited to one student per school year, to total $25,000. The scholarship recipients will be solely determined by Dean Jelani Jefferson Exum.
