Award descriptionAwards totalling $1,750 have been made available through an endowment established by Nicco Bautista (B.A. 2010, M.A. 2013, J.D. 2013) and Maria Kim-Bautista (B.A. 2010, J.D. 2013) for students in the J.D. program who are the first in their family to attend law school or have overcome barriers in order to attend UBC.

Nicco Bautista and Maria Kim-Bautista immigrated to Vancouver as children, were both the first in their families to attend law school, and are now lawyers practicing in Vancouver. Nicco and Maria were actively involved in student leadership and community service during their time at UBC. They established this award to support law students with similar backgrounds to their own. The awards are made on the recommendation of the Peter A. Allard School of Law.
