The ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund for the 2014-2015 academic year is now available. The Scholarship Fund is intended to encourage racial and ethnic minority students to apply to law school and to provide financial assistance to these students.
The Scholarship Fund will award $5,000 of financial assistance annually to each scholarship recipient attending an ABA-accredited law school. An award made to an entering first-year student may be renewable for two additional years, resulting in financial assistance totaling $15,000 during his or her time in law school. The application can be downloaded from http://www.ambar.org/DiversityScholarship. Completed scholarship applications must be received via email: legalosf@americanbar.org no later than March 3, 2014.
Recipients will be selected based on their qualifications for the scholarship and not on the law school they plan to attend. Therefore, law students applying to any and all ABA-accredited law schools may benefit from these scholarships. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact (312) 988-5642.
