Delivering on
The Promise of Lucy Sprague
Photo of Lucy Sprague.
The Sprague family remained true to its legacy of public service when it established the Lucy Sprague Public Service Award at UIC Law. Lucy was murdered while attending what is now UIC Law. Her mother, Lee Sprague, and late father, the Honorable George Sprague, created the scholarship to honor and memorialize her after her death. Lucy’s intention to serve women, underserved populations and people who are indigent was cut short, but her promise is carried forward by more than two decades of Sprague Scholars. The Sprague family’s scholarship allows UIC Law students to commit to careers serving the greater good, regardless of salary. Over almost three decades, the Sprague family has created a tight-knit community of Sprague Scholars who serve the interests of individuals traditionally underrepresented in the legal system. The lives the Sprague Scholars have touched because of the Sprague family’s generosity are countless.
