Jenna Chirichetti

The American Association of University Women, Beaver Valley Branch, awarded the 2025 Effie M. Solomon Memorial Law Scholarship to Jenna Chirichetti of Beaver Falls, on September 6, 2025, during the AAUW annual fall brunch.

Ms. Chirichetti graduated from Beaver Falls High School in 2019 where she served as co-valedictorian. Jenna then attended Georgetown University Walsh School of Foreign Service graduating with a major in International Politics and International Law. Graduating with First Honors in 2023, she continued her education at Case Western University. Achieving a current class rank of 9 out of 174, Jenna will graduate in 2026 with a J.D. degree. Jenna is currently employed as a legal intern in the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office.

The Effie Solomon Law Scholarship aligns with her goal of advocating for women, and she is proud to further this mission through her work. The scholarship of $2,500.00 will greatly assist in covering the expense of books and bar preparation courses as she prepares to study for the bar exam in the coming months.

The family of the late Effie M. Solomon, a well-known Beaver County lawyer, established a scholarship in her honor to aid Western PA women who are training to be lawyers. In 1984, the Beaver Valley Branch of AAUW initiated awarding this annual scholarship to deserving women who are pursuing a law degree. Proceeds from the annual AAUW Kitchen Tour fundraiser contribute to this scholarship. Information about the law scholarship is available at: beavervalley-pa.aauw.net
