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 academic excellence
Service to the profession
Service to the community
Service to the cause of diversity
