Robert & Pamela Kirby Endowed Scholarship for Legal Studies

Pam Kirby established this scholarship in memory of her late husband, Robert Brandt Kirby, and in appreciation of the couple’s opportunity to serve UCF as faculty members. Beginning in 1995, both taught courses in the legal studies program after retiring from the U.S. Army, where they served as commissioned officers and attorneys in The Judge Advocate General’s Corps. This scholarship is awarded annually to UCF students majoring in legal studies, with a preference for students who are veterans, dependents of veterans or actively enrolled in ROTC.

The purpose of this fund is to provide scholarship awards to students at the University of Central Florida in the College of Community Innovation and Education, majoring in Legal Studies.
