The Indian Gaming and Tribal Self-Governance Programs are pleased to announce the Master of Legal Studies scholarship winners for the Spring 2025 semester. Congratulations to MLS students Alison Garcia, Erica Green, Mishani Jack-Gonzalez and Savana Saubel!

The students all thanked the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, which was exemplified by Jack-Gonzalez, who wrote, “I am honored to receive this support, and I appreciate your generosity. This scholarship has helped relieve some of the burden that comes along with a full-time work schedule and a full-time school schedule. It really motivated me to continue doing my best and even strive for more.”

We also thank the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for their support, which allows us to offer this scholarship and supports the students’ goals of understanding legal issues and positively impacting Tribal interests.
