for the 2014 DRI Law Student Diversity Scholarship
DRI
announces its annual Law Student
Diversity Scholarship program open to rising (2014-15) 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 to promote, in a tangible way, the DRI
Diversity Statement of Principle.
All
rising second- and third-year female law students are also eligible, regardless
of race or ethnicity. Any other rising second- and third-year law students who
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, a candidate must be a full-time student. 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
