2023 Law Student Diversity Scholarship – Now Accepting Applications
The DRI Foundation is now accepting applications for its annual Law Student Diversity Scholarship program. Encourage your law students to submit an application before the deadline on Friday, March 31!
One scholarship in the amount of $10,000 and two scholarships in the amount of $5,000 each will be awarded. The recipients will be announced at the DRI Diversity for Success Seminar in Charlotte, North Carolina in June 2023. The Foundation’s goal is to provide financial assistance to three worthy law students from ABA accredited law schools in order to promote, in a tangible way, the DRI Diversity Statement in Principle.
This scholarship is open to rising (2023-2024) second-and third-year law students who come from historically marginalized groups, including those who identify as:
- African American
- Hispanic
- Asian
- Native American
- LGBTQ+
- Multi-racial
- Second-and third-year female law students, regardless of race or ethnicity
- Any other second-and third-year law students who come from backgrounds that would add to the cause of diversity, regardless of race or gender
Students who are a member of the American Association for Justice (AAJ), law school, or law student members of AAJ, or students otherwise affiliated with or employed by AAJ are not eligible for DRI’s Law Student Diversity Scholarships.
To qualify for these scholarships, a candidate must be a full-time student. Evening students 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. Learn more about the application process and submit an application by March 31!
