Frances M. “Kelley” Green, JD ’72, devoted her life and career to protecting our planet.  A prominent environmental lawyer, advocate, and philanthropist, Green passed away in 2003 at the age of 57.  Green’s name will live on in perpetuity at GW Law through the recently established Frances “Kelley” Green Scholarship endowment fund

“We wanted to memorialize Kelley’s lifelong work through the fund, which will help law students follow their passion to work in the environmental and public interest fields without the worry of huge debts,” said Ann G. Wylie, president of the Green Fund, a private philanthropic foundation established with Green’s assets after her death.  “Through the scholarship fund at GW Law, we are pleased to pay tribute to Kelley at the institution that gave her the tools and credentials to do the work that she found most meaningful in life,” Ms. Wylie explained.
