2025 Recipient

A dedicated scholar and passionate advocate, Savannah was awarded the Ryan Lipparelli Scholarship in the spring semester of 2025, an opportunity that has supported her journey through Arizona State University College of Law. A proud graduate of the University of Arizona, Savannah shares an unexpected bond with Ryan—both Sun Devils who found their way to ASU after their initial college experiences.

Her connection to the Lipparelli family runs deep. At just eight years old, she and Gracie Lipparelli became teammates on the soccer field, forging a friendship that would last a lifetime. Ryan was there, cheering them on, shaping some of her favorite childhood memories. Reflecting on his impact, Savannah writes:

“Some of my favorite childhood memories have been colored by Ryan’s presence as the quintessential cool older brother, and I feel a strong sense of kismet in that Ryan and I are fellow Sun Devils, fellow debaters (I helped found the debate club at the University of Arizona), and fellow athletes.”

She remembers Ryan as charismatic and supportive, always ready with a quick wit—like the time she posted a picture from a mock trial, and Ryan responded, ‘What’s her retainer fee?’

Beyond academics, Savannah is deeply committed to public service. She holds a fellowship with the People’s Parity Project, a public interest organization dedicated to judicial transparency, ensuring that judges’ backgrounds are publicly accessible to better understand their influence on the courts.

In her downtime, Savannah enjoys reading and working out, balancing intellectual rigor with personal wellness. She is on track to graduate from law school in the spring of 2026, ready to make a difference in the legal field.

Savannah’s journey embodies the spirit of the Ryan Lipparelli Scholarship—determination, integrity, and a deep commitment to justice.
