Applications Now Being Accepted

​

We are pleased to announce that the Judicial Council of the NBA is again offering a limited number of Law Student Scholarships and Bar Review Preparation Scholarships.  Applications for both are now being accepted and fillable application forms are available for your convenience.

 

The National Bar Association Judicial Council’s goals include increasing the number of minority lawyers and thereby increasing the pipeline for minority judges in the future. The mission of the scholarship is to help ensure that minority students who are underrepresented in the legal profession have the opportunity to attend and finance their law school education. The Committee may award a scholarship up to $5000.00.

 

We recognize the enormous debt accumulated during college and law school years, especially for minority students. After that expense, a law student then must prepare to take and pass the bar exam. Bar examination preparation courses have proven to be valuable and almost indispensable for those taking the bar exam. To assist law students of racial and ethnic minorities in securing their law licenses by passing the bar exam, the Judicial Council is offering a limited number of Bar exam prep scholarships in the amount of $2500 for graduating law students.
