Defense Research Institute Scholarship

Website

Annually, the Defense Research Institute offers two scholarships in the amount of $10,000 each to minority law students from ABA accredited law schools in order to promote the DRI Diversity Statement.

Scholarship applicants should be incoming second and third-year African American, Hispanic, Asian, Pan Asian and Native American students.  Incoming second and third-year female law students are also eligible, regardless of race or ethnicity. 

The awarded applicants will best meet the following criteria:

• Demonstrated academic excellence
• Service to the profession
• Service to the community
• Service to the cause of diversity

If you know someone who may fit these criteria, please direct them to http://dri.org/dri/webdocs/2010_Diversity_Scholarship_Application.pdf for more information regarding the application process.

I have also attached the scholarship flier and application for your distribution.  The deadline for all applications is May 3, 2010.

Scholarship winners will be notified in advance and will be officially announced at the DRI Diversity for Success Seminar June 10-11, 2010 in Chicago.
