Frederic L. Ballard, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Program
to attend its
2015 Fundamentals of Municipal Bond Law Seminar



The National Association of Bond Lawyers (“NABL”) is pleased to announce that it is once again offering up to five scholarships to law school students, through the Frederic L. Ballard, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Program to attend its 2015 Fundamentals of Municipal Bond Law Seminar.  Located in the District of Columbia, NABL was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1979, and exists to promote the integrity of the municipal market by advancing the understanding of and compliance with the law affecting public finance. NABL pursues this mission in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, providing several annual educational programs for its members and others in the law relating to state and municipal bonds and other obligations.  

The 2015 Fundamentals of Municipal Bond Law Seminar is one of these educational programs. Designed for attorneys, paralegals, government officials and employees, financial consultants and other municipal finance professionals and market participants seeking a basic knowledge of municipal bond law and related municipal finance issues, it is open to both NABL members and non-members.  The seminar is being held April 22-24, 2015, at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.  The 2015 seminar brochure is available on the NABL website

To be a recipient of one of the five possible scholarships, an applicant must be currently enrolled in the Doctor of Jurisprudence Program or Masters of Law (LL.M.) Program at an accredited law school located within the United States of America.  Each scholarship will include (a) waiver of the enrollment fee to the seminar, (b) complimentary hotel lodging at the Hyatt, (c) reimbursement of roundtrip airfare and (d) reimbursement of ground transportation to and from the scholarship recipient’s departing airport and to and from the Orlando airport.  

Please take a few minutes to review the application and seminar information .  Completed applications are due no later than March 6, 2015
