The Arent Fox Diversity Scholarships will be awarded to rising second-year law students in good standing, at an ABA-accredited law school in the U.S. Applicants must be scheduled to graduate in 2026. Applicants must also have excellent college and law school academic performance; excellent oral and written communication skills; have demonstrated leadership qualities, work experience, and community involvement; be authorized to work in the US; and be a member of a diverse population that historically has been underrepresented in the legal profession. ArentFox Schiff defines diversity broadly, including gender, race or ethnicity, LGBTQ+, disability, first generation, veteran status, socioeconomic status, and any other historically underrepresented category. Applicants must also have a strong interest in joining the Firm as an associate after law school graduation. Applicants must submit a legal writing sample that must be exclusively their own work. The sample may be from your legal writing course in law school. Three references, professional or academic references, are also required. Letters of recommendation are optional. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and interviews will be scheduled throughout the summer. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
