The Jim Fahey Safe Homes Fund for Women endowment was established in 2007 to provide scholarships for graduate students at UC Berkeley with demonstrated financial need and a strong aptitude in relevant subjects as well as a deep commitment to combating domestic violence against women. The first award will be offered this spring in the amount of $1,000, and more awards will be offered early in 2012. A student may receive this award more than once during his or her academic career. The award is made possible by a bequest from the late attorney Jim Fahey, an alumnus of the Class of 1935 who was passionate about combating domestic violence.
