ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship 2010

'Tis the season to apply for ABA's Legal Opportunity Scholarship. I've included some of the information about the scholarship as it appears in the application package:

... The purpose of the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund is to encourage racial and ethnic minority students to apply and to attend law school and to provide financial assistance to ensure that these students have the opportunity to attend law school for three years.

The ABA Legal Opportunity 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 totally $15,000 during his or her time in law school...

In addition to whether the applicant is a member of a racial and/or ethnic minority that has been underrepresented in the legal profession, the applicant's financial need; personal, family and educational background; personal statement; and participation in community service activities will be considered in selecting the recipients...


The application deadline is March 1, 2010. Find more information and the application at the ABA's website: http://www.abanet.org/fje.
