Irene Hong: Answering Legal Foundation Scholarship
Penn Law student Irene Hong has been awarded the Future Attorney of America Scholarship from the Answering Legal Foundation.
The scholarship provides support for students entering the legal profession. Ms. Hong, who is also the inaugural recipient of the Future Attorney of America Scholarship, was chosen in recognition of her outstanding academic achievement.
Ms. Hong is part of Penn’s BA/JD sub-matriculation program. She completed her undergraduate coursework in just two years and majored in political science with a concentration in American politics. She is now earning a JD/MS in Social Policy dual degree. She studies international tax, looking at the field from both a legal perspective and a social policy perspective, with a specific interest in wealth distribution in the United States and abroad.
“I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the corporate world both through my legal studies and through the lens of social policy,” Ms. Hong said.
