The UP College of Law has several scholarships supported by donations from alumni and friends which are administered, in cooperation with their respective donors, by the Dean and the Scholarship Committee of the College. The Justice Natividad Almeda Lopez Memorial Scholarship established by the family of the late Justice Natividad Almeda Lopez in honor of her memory, is one of these scholarships.

A postage stamp was issued and a street (formerly called Concepcion) in Ermita, Manila was also named in her honor.
