Winston Announces 2018 Diversity Scholarship Recipients

We are pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 Winston & Strawn Diversity Scholarship: Yarden Kakon of UC Berkeley Law School, John Leon of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and Cynthia Suarez of Cornell Law School. 

Each recipient is a second-year law student and will participate in our 2018 summer program. Yarden will be in our San Francisco office, John in our Chicago office, and Cynthia in our New York office. They will each receive $10,000 to apply towards their third year of law school.

Winston inaugurated the Diversity Scholarship program in 2004 to demonstrate our commitment to diversity and celebrate our 150th anniversary. 

Applications are reviewed by the chairs of the firm’s Hiring Committee and Diversity Committee. Visit our Diversity & Inclusion page for more information on the program.

Congratulations to our 2018 scholarship recipients!
