Ruby Howell
Justice Alex M. Fromme Scholarship $1,500

The Kansas Bar Foundation is proud to announce the 2026 recipient of the Justice Alex M. Fromme Scholarship, from Washburn University School of Law.

"I am grateful for the generosity extended to me and all the other recipients of KBF scholarships. The Justice Alex M. Fromme Scholarship means a great deal to me. I have been incredibly lucky that my community- whether that be in Pratt, Topeka, or elsewhere, has always supported me in my endeavors. Not only does a scholarship like this help me financially, but it shows that the Kansas law community supports and believes in me. Kansas has always been good to me, and I look forward to returning the favor after graduation by helping and serving residents of this great state as an attorney."
