Law Firm Establishes “Diversity Scholarship” at the University of Tennessee College of Law

The law firm of Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs has established a full scholarship for one student at the University of Tennessee College of Law. The scholarship will be given every three years to an entering student, with preference given to residents of Tennessee or Kentucky. In addition, a recipient who will “add to the diversity of the student body” will be selected.

The first recipient of the scholarship is Michelle Quinn, an African American who graduated in 2006 from the University of Tennessee with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She has spent the last year working at a law firm in Knoxville.

Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs employs 200 attorneys in offices in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, and Colorado.
