LAW SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
Of course, our scholarships are also only reserved for students accepted and enrolled for full-time status at an accredited law school in the United States. There are no exceptions. A list of accredited law schools can be found by going here.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
Interested students must complete our brief application and submit a 3-4 page essay in response to our prompt to apply. The Military and Veterans Benefits Law Scholarships are awarded solely on the merit and contents of this essay, as determined by our board.
Our application period runs each year from May 1st through August 1st. This gives students ample time to secure their enrollment for the coming law school year, as well as plenty of time to complete our brief application and submission essay.
The Scholarship Committee meets each Spring to decide on that year´s essay prompt. Themes center on the unique experiences shared by those that serve in our military and plan to utilize those experiences in the law profession.
