Bradley – Annual Diversity Scholarship                               (2L)                  Deadline: March 15, 2018

Bradley’s commitment to diversity is not just a passive ideal, but an active goal that allows us to build a team with broad backgrounds and experiences. Every year, we offer two Diversity Scholarships to promote the education of well-qualified law students from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession.

Award: Scholarships of up to $5,000 for first-year students and up to $10,000 for second-year students who are committed to broadening the diversity of voices in the legal profession. Scholarship recipients are required to clerk in one of Bradley’s offices for at least six weeks during the summer after the scholarships are awarded.

About Bond
Bond’s Diversity Committee will review applications and select the successful applicant. The Diversity Committee may or may not ask applicants to participate in an interview. In addition to academic achievement, an important factor on which selection decisions will be based is a student’s attendance at a law school in Syracuse or Buffalo and/or the student’s interest in practicing in one of the cities. Please note that the student will be responsible for providing for his/her own lodging for the duration of the 2017 clerkship.
