The Public Interest Scholarship Program recognizes top California law students who demonstrate a commitment to public service, an intent to pursue a career in public interest law, academic excellence, and financial need. The Scholarship helps pay the costs of obtaining a law school education, including tuition, fees, books, and related law school education expenses. Awards of up to $7,500 recognize law students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, a sustained and extensive commitment to public service, often while overcoming serious hardships and obstacles, an intent to pursue a career in public interest law, and financial need. Candidates must be nominated by their law school.

The Public Interest Scholarship is awarded in the fall of 2010 for the 2010-2011 academic year. Please visit our Scholarship posting for more information.

The application packet is available online at http://www.calbarfoundation.org/programs/scholarships/lawschool.html

Because each school must nominate applicants for the CA Bar Foundation Public Interest Scholarship, applications will need to be submitted the Law School’s Financial Aid office by 5:00pm Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
