Scholarships.com Law Scholarship

Scholarships.com Law Scholarship

Though a career in law may sound promising, the cost of law school will not. About 80 percent of law school students borrow money to pay for their education, and, depending on the university they attend, graduate with an average debt of $49,000 to $77,000. To encourage future law school students to follow their goals—regardless of tuition prices—we have created a scholarship especially for them.

Students who apply for the Scholarships.com Law Scholarship will have the chance to earn $1,000 towards their college education—and it couldn’t be easier. Just respond to the following question in a 250 to 350 word essay (entries that fall outside this word range will be disqualified):

"What has influenced your decision to pursue a career in law?"

Eligibility:
  • U.S. citizen
  • Registered user of Scholarships.com
  • Undergraduate student currently enrolled or a high school senior who plans to enroll in a college or university in the coming academic year
Applicant must have indicated an interest in one of the following majors:
  • Criminal Justice
