BSP Law Charitable Foundation Names 2025 Joel Stern Scholarship Winner

BSP Law is proud to announce that the 2025 recipient of the BSP Law Charitable Foundation Joel Stern Scholarship is Ghina Nimer, a 1L at Wayne State University Law School.

The Joel Stern Scholarship was established in honor of Joel Stern, who served as the CEO of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) and spent over 25 years as in-house counsel for major companies.

Throughout his career, Joel was known for creating impactful legal programs and mentoring professionals across the industry.

This scholarship provides financial support to law students who demonstrate strong leadership, academic excellence, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact in the legal field.

To surprise Ghina with the news, our team invited her under the impression she was meeting for a second-round interview—only to present her with a check and announce her as this year’s winner.

At Wayne Law, Ghina is involved in a variety of student organizations, including the Arab Business Society and Women’s Law Caucus.

She has shown a strong dedication to her legal studies and community involvement and represents the spirit of excellence and leadership that the scholarship seeks to recognize.

We are thrilled to support Ghina as she continues her legal education and look forward to seeing all that she will accomplish.
