ABA LEGAL OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The ABA Business Law Section is proud to continue to support the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund. The mission of the Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund is to encourage racial and ethnic minority students to apply to law school and to provide financial assistance to attend and completing law school. The ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship grants 10 - 20 incoming diverse law students with $15,000 of financial aid over the course of their three years in law school. Since its inception, more than 350 students from across the country have received the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship.
This year, the Business Law Section has pledged to match up to $20,000 of Business Law Section member donations. So far, the Section has matched $9,000 in Section member donations. You have the opportunity to help empower the next generation of minority attorneys.
