Now, our goal is to foster a new generation of legal professionals across the country. We are opening up the Young Legal Professionals Scholarship to help break down financial barriers for students who are studying law. Each semester, one student will receive $1000 to further his or her studies.

If you meet the above criteria, you are invited to apply for the scholarship. Please attach proof of your enrollment at an accredited university or law school (.docx or PDF files of your acceptance letter, class schedule, or other proof of enrollment).

In addition to providing all required information and documentation, eligible students should answer the question on the right-hand side of this page in essay format in no more than 1,000 words:

What responsibility do lawyers have to their clients?

Your response should demonstrate a passion for the law and what you have learned in your studies and experiences. This response should be uploaded as a .docx or .pdf file.

Your response will be evaluated with the following criteria in mind:

  • The essay’s organization and clarity of the thesis.
  • The student’s breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm for practicing law.
  • The student’s fit to the eligibility criteria.

After each deadline, our team typically takes approximately four weeks to select and notify our winner. We thank you for your patience as we review each application individually.
