“As usual, we were very impressed by the pool of applicants for the 2018 Frederic L. Ballard Memorial Scholarship, and it was very difficult to narrow down the field. Based on their stated interest in public finance careers and strong records, we are confident that Rick Ballard’s legacy of a commitment to educating young bond lawyers will be fulfilled by their attendance. Congratulations to all of the recipients – we look forward to hosting you at Fundamentals and hope that it solidifies your interest in public finance,” said Victoria Ozimek, 2018 Chair of the Education and Member Services Committee.
Frederic L. Ballard, Jr. Memorial Scholarship
NABL renamed its existing Fundamentals of Municipal Bond Law Seminar scholarship program to honor longtime NABL member Frederic L. “Rick” Ballard, Jr. who passed away in 2014. NABL’s decision to bestow this honor on Mr. Ballard stemmed from his longstanding commitment to educating young bond attorneys. As Mr. Ballard’s contributions to NABL touched so many of its members, NABL is confident that the Frederic L. Ballard, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Program will become part of his enduring legacy.
In recognition of the newly named program, the law firm of Ballard Spahr LLP made a generous donation in his memory to the Scholarship fund. NABL invites all of its members to support the continued funding of the Frederic L. Ballard, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Program. Contributions should be made to NABL’s affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, the Robert H. Hilderbrand, Jr. Fund, which will oversee and administer the scholarships.
