Rhode Island Bar Foundation Seeks Law School Scholarship Applicants


The Bar Foundation intends to award two scholarships of $25,000 each to Rhode Island residents who enroll as first-year students in an American Bar Association accredited law school for the academic year beginning September 2022. The scholarship is for the first year of law school only and is non-renewable. Each scholarship award is made on the basis of demonstrated financial need, superior academic performance, community and public service, and demonstrated contacts with and commitment to the State of Rhode Island. The Scholarship Committee seeks applications from candidates without regard to race, color, religion, country of ancestral origin, handicap, age, sex, or sexual orientation.

The Scholarship Committee will also award two additional $25,000 scholarships to applicants who meet the same criteria and who self-identify as black, indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC).

The Rhode Island Bar Foundation Scholarship application deadline is March 31, 2022. More information and application forms are available on the Rhode Island Bar Association website, ribar.com, in the Rhode Island Bar Foundation section.
