Public Interest Scholarship
Since 1991, the Foundation has awarded nearly $2.9 million through its scholarship programs. Investing in the next generation of public interest lawyers, the flagship Public Interest Scholarship has benefited more than 550 outstanding law students. The Scholarship helps pay the costs of obtaining a law school education, including tuition, fees, books, and related 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 personal hardships and obstacles, an intent to pursue a career in public interest law, and financial need. The top awards of $7,500 may be made in the name of a Public Interest Scholarship Fund donor. All 2010 Public Interest Scholarships will be awarded in person at a reception to be held on Thursday, September 30, 2010, in Los Angeles. Public Interest Scholarship Awards
