W|N has pledged its financial support at the Tier III Gold Scholarship level through 2011. Founded in 2001 by the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA), the mission of AIPLEF is to promote diversity in the intellectual property bar by "providing educational, mentoring and employment opportunities to minority students actively working to develop a career in intellectual property law" and by also recognizing and acknowledging on behalf of minority students "outstanding accomplishments in the study and practice of intellectual property law." Rick D. Nydegger, W|N’s president and managing director and a former president of AIPLA, served as one of the Foundation’s first Trustees. Mr. Nydegger noted that "Workman Nydegger is proud to join AIPLEF in support of its mission to promote greater diversity among minority students by providing this kind of scholarship opportunity to further the educational goals of the next generation of intellectual property lawyers."
