Established in 2004, the Womble Carlyle Scholars Program awards scholarships to diverse rising second year law students who present solid academic credentials, personal achievement outside the school environment, and significant participation in community service. This program is designed to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in the bar. The scholarship is awarded to diverse law students at schools in most of the states in which the firm has offices.
In addition to the $4,000 scholarship, an offer of summer employment as a Summer Associate in one of the firm’s eleven offices is extended to the Scholar after his/her second year of law school. The Scholar may choose to work at the firm all, half (at least six weeks), or none of the summer. The firm will determine in which office the Scholar works, but every effort will be made to satisfy the Scholar’s office preference. Scholar salaries during the summer will be the same as the firm’s other Summer Associates in each office.
The scholarship application consists of two parts and may be submitted separately. A complete application, cover letter and resume are to be submitted by May 15,2009. The final portion of the scholarship application is due by Tuesday, July 7, 2009
