DRI
announces its annual Law Student Diversity Scholarship program open to incoming
second- and third-year African American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American
students. The goal of these scholarships is to provide financial assistance to
two worthy law students from ABA accredited law schools in order to promote, in
a tangible way, the DRI Diversity Statement of Principle.
Incoming
second- and third-year female law students are also eligible, regardless of
race or ethnicity. Incoming second- and third-year law students who also come
from backgrounds that would add to the cause of diversity, regardless of race
or gender are eligible to apply.
To
qualify for this scholarship, candidates must be full-time students. Evening
students also qualify for consideration if they have completed one-third or
more of the total credit hours required for a degree by the applicant’s law
school.
Two
scholarships in the amount of $10,000 each will be awarded to applicants who
best meet the following criteria:
Demonstrated
