This week, Mary Yeotsas Van de Graaf reports that Cori Flam Meltzer ’95LAW and Brad Meltzer ’96LAW have pledged $150,000 to endow a need-based scholarship for Columbia Law School students in honor of Cori’s 20th reunion.
Cori, who leads CFM Mediation in Florida, and Brad, a novelist, met as law students and have remained closely tied to Columbia Law School. They’ve routinely supported the annual fund, and Cori is the co-chair of her 20th reunion this year. They created this endowed scholarship to set up permanent support for law students.
Brad, who received a scholarship when he attended Columbia, credits the Law School with jumpstarting his writing career. He has authored nine best-selling thrillers and has written non-fiction, comics, and children’s books. He hosts Brad Meltzer’s Decoded on the History Channel and Brad Meltzer’s Lost History on H2.
“This endowed scholarship allows the Law School to promise the highest quality legal education to extraordinary students, regardless of their financial situation,” said Yeotsas Van de Graaf, the Law School’s assistant director for reunions. “Need-based aid is always a priority at the Law School, and we are deeply grateful to the Meltzers for their support.”
