The Earl Warren Scholarship

Description

The Earl Warren Scholarship is awarded annually to rising law students whose commitment to racial justice reveals outstanding potential for training as civil rights and public interest attorneys. Eligible law students include those entering their first or second year of legal study at an accredited law school in the United States. The scholarship will be awarded for three years. There is no minimum test score or GPA requirement. Candidates are judged holistically and by the full sum of their achievements and contributions. Any application review will take into account a candidate's GPA, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, volunteer activities and personal essays; however, no single component of an application will determine a scholarship award. Two letters of recommendation and a copy of the applicant's LSAT score or GRE Score must be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
