Gadi-Hernandez-Corad
The Bennett G. Hornstein Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Gadi Hernandez-Corado for the 2026–2027 academic year. The scholarship includes a $5,000 award and marks the program’s 20th anniversary.
A second-year law student at the University of Nebraska College of Law, Gadi is pursuing a Juris Doctor with a focus on Immigration Law while also working toward a Master of Arts in Political Science. A first-generation law student and daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, she is dedicated to expanding access to legal services for underserved communities.
Gadi serves as a law clerk at Nebraska Appleseed, volunteers as a Spanish-English interpreter through the Immigration Clinic, and participates in the Public Interest Scholars Program. She also serves on the staffs of the Nebraska Law Review and the Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice.
Through her academic excellence, leadership, and commitment to public service, Gadi exemplifies the values of Bennett G. Hornstein, whose legacy of advocating for those without access to legal representation continues through this scholarship.
