The Federal Circuit Bar Association Founder's Scholarships will award three of these scholarships in the amount of $5,000 each. Depending on available funds and other factors, the Association may also consider awarding additional scholarships based primarily on need. Students must be pursuing a juris doctor degree; enrolling for the upcoming academic year in any law school accredited by the American Bar Association; and show a demonstrable interest in one of the many topics that lie within the procedure, substance, or scope of the jurisdiction of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Students with interests solely in such areas as family, public interest, bankruptcy, or criminal law, for example, need not apply. Students pursuing advanced degrees (e.g., LL.M.) need not apply. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Federal Circuit Bar Association for more information.
