The Mehta Wahi Scholarship supports an incoming LLM student at Seattle University School of Law with a demonstrated interest in South Asia–related legal, social, or policy issues. Established through the generosity of Pallavi Mehta Wahi and Ash Wahi, the scholarship reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to advanced legal education and strengthening cross-border legal understanding.

Designed to prepare globally engaged legal leaders, the scholarship recognizes the importance of equipping internationally trained lawyers to work across legal systems, cultures, and jurisdictions. Recipients join a nationally recognized LLM program known for its emphasis on access to justice, public service, and experiential learning.

Administered in partnership with the Roundglass India Center, the Mehta Wahi Scholarship advances the Center's mission to deepen teaching, research, and dialogue related to India and the Indian diaspora. By supporting emerging legal scholars focused on South Asia, the program fosters meaningful global exchange and contributes to Seattle University's Jesuit commitment to educating leaders for a just and humane world.
