Clara Géry

Promoting academic excellence and achievement

Clara loved the law, ideas, and people.

At seventeen, an osteosarcoma diagnosis upended her daily life—yet never halted her momentum. There were nine surgeries and over two hundred days of hospitalization, yet throughout it all, there were books, exams, and projects. She earned her degrees from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne before continuing her studies in the United States at the Cardozo School of Law in New York. Those who knew her remember a young woman of keen intelligence, boundless curiosity, and rare generosity.

Purpose

The Clara Géry Association was established in memory of Clara Géry, a brilliant young woman and law student at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, whose life was taken by a long illness.

Clara was known for her perseverance, her determination in the face of adversity, and the smile she maintained under all circumstances. She wished to see merit recognized and encouraged among those who, like her, pursue their goals with perseverance.

The association is intended to carry forward this wish. By supporting candidates who demonstrate the same qualities of excellence, open-mindedness, altruism, and perseverance in the face of adversity, the association seeks, through each scholarship awarded, to bring to life what Clara herself would have wished to accomplish.
