Campbell Law alumni establish endowed scholarships for students

The Judge Angelica Chavis McIntyre Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in Judge McIntyre's name by her and her husband, Stephen McIntyre, in the amount of $25,000.

On Nov. 6, 2018, McIntyre, age 27, was elected District Court Judge by the voters of Robeson County. Upon taking office, she became the youngest female judge in the state of North Carolina. In 2021, Judge McIntyre was appointed Chief District Court Judge of Robeson County by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina Paul Newby. Prior to being elected as a judge, Judge McIntyre served as an assistant district attorney. Judge McIntyre also has the distinction of being the first Native American female chief district court judge in the state.

"Establishing a scholarship at Campbell Law is deeply meaningful to me because it allows me to give back to the school that shaped my path," Judge McIntyre said. "It is an honor to support the next generation of advocates just as Campbell once supported me."

The scholarship established in McIntyre's name is designated with preference for students from rural counties in North Carolina.

Homesley and his wife, Fariba Homesley, have established The Homesley Family Endowed Scholarship in the amount of $50,000.

Homesley, a partner in the Mooresville law firm of Homesley and Wingo, is a business transaction, estate planning and commercial real estate attorney with a focus in motorsports. A proud Campbell Law alumnus, Homesley says he remembers his time as a student fondly, where he formed lifelong relationships with a diverse body of classmates from across North Carolina.

Homesley, along with his wife, wish to provide financial assistance to future law students in need, just as they have done previously for students in Campbell University's Physician Assistant (PA) Program, from which their daughter, Persia Homesley, earned a master's degree in 2021.

"I had the opportunity to meet Norman Wiggins and admire up close the hard work that he and Leary Davis and all of the professors did in making Campbell a preeminent law school in North Carolina from the outset," Homesley explained.

"As evidenced by the number of judges who are Campbell graduates and by the many excellent lawyers who have also engaged in community service, Campbell has been at the forefront of the advancement of legal services throughout the state of North Carolina, particularly in underserved areas. It is with great appreciation of the qualities of Campbell University that we establish this scholarship so that these opportunities are as broadly available as possible to prospective students."

Interim Director of Development Josh McIntyre said each endowed scholarship provides funds for current Campbell Law students for tuition and academic expenses.

"These scholarships are critical to easing our students' financial burden so they can concentrate on becoming the best-prepared lawyers in the state, and we could not provide this assistance without the generosity of these amazing alumni," he added.
