The Bar Association of San Francisco is pleased to announce that the application for their Bay Area Minority Law Student Scholarship Program is available and the deadline for the completed applications is May 15, 2009, by 4:00 p.m.
This program was established to help increase diversity in the legal profession in a concrete way, and alleviate at least one of the many barriers minority students may face when considering law school. In the past 11 years, they have awarded over 50 scholarships to deserving law students in the Bay Area. Awards are given based on financial need, commitment to and involvement in public service, barriers faced in life, and scholastics.

Student recipients receive a $10,000 scholarship towards their first year of law school. Thereafter, the scholarship may be renewed for an additional two years.

For Fall 2009, minority students admitted into and entering an ABA-accredited law school in the Bay Area AND current law students may apply.
