Stetson University College of Law student and Bradenton, Fla., native Starcee Brown, a member of the Stetson trial team and single parent to her two-year-old son, recently received the Bar Study Scholarship from the Malcolm Cunningham, Sr. Bar Association. The bar association awards scholarships to well-deserving third-year African American students preparing to sit for the Florida Bar exam.

Brown received the scholarship during the annual William M. Holland Scholarship luncheon on Feb. 5.

Brown also received the Richard R. Garland Diversity Scholarship from the Sarasota County Bar Association in May of 2015. She worked with Legal Aid of Manasota in Sarasota during the summer as the Sarasota County Bar Association’s diversity intern.

Brown received an essay-based scholarship from the law firm of Katz & Phillips, P.A. in March of 2015. That scholarship benefits high-achieving single parents who plan to attend or are currently attending law school.

She is a member of the executive boards of the Black Law Students Association and Phi Delta Phi International Legal Honor Society and serves as vice-president of the Stetson Law Parents.

Brown graduates with her J.D. from Stetson law school in 2016, and plans to practice as a criminal defense attorney and a family law attorney.

She recently learned that she has been accepted into the Ph.D. program in criminology at the University of South Florida.
