Herman Hooten Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship is in honor of Herman Marcus Hooten, who valued education and would mentor anyone who had questions or ever doubted themselves on obtaining a college education. The Hooten family has a motto we live by, “Higher Education is an expectation not an exception”.
Mr. Hooten believed all ethnicities should be given the opportunity to follow their dreams through education; and he would do everything in his power to see his students achieve their educational goals. Mr. Hooten obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and later received his master’s degree at the University of Utah. He was the Program Director for the Ethnic Minority Health Sciences Center, as well as the Dean of Admission at the School of Medicine for the University of Utah Medical Center, and a Professor of Social Work at Weber State University. During his employment at the University of Utah he was instrumental in expanding the Ethnic Minority Health Science Center program beyond the boundaries of Utah.
He was always an advocate for change and diversity. The Hooten family would like to honor the memory of our husband and father and award a $1,200.00 scholarship to a CHS student and help them reach their dreams of obtaining a college education.

Each year, the Lamber-Goodnow Injury Law Team awards two scholarships to innovative and highly creative high school and college students. We seek essay submissions from students who are creative thinkers and problem solvers. Whether you are a star in your local community, an aspiring leader, a tech whiz, an engineer or a creative writer, we want to hear from you.
Creative thought, motivation and execution are important to us. Innovation is just as important in the legal process as it is in the rest of life. To make progress and improve upon our circumstances and surroundings, we must be willing to take risks that can influence and drive positive change. We want to support students who buck the trend, think outside of the box and deliver on this concept in everyday life and in school.
