MALDEF Law School Scholarship Program
Since MALDEF's founding, the civil rights organization has awarded scholarships to students who will further MALDEF's mission of advancing the civil rights of the Latino community in the United States. In recent years, MALDEF has annually awarded 5-10 scholarships of $5,000 each. MALDEF's Law School Scholarship Program is open to all law students currently enrolled at an accredited United States law school. Applicants are evaluated for their academic and extracurricular achievements, for their background and financial need, and, most importantly, for their demonstrated commitment to advancing Latino civil rights in their careers. MALDEF's 2011-2012 Law School Scholarship Application is due Monday, January 2, 2012. Good luck!

The price of law school has increased significantly in recent years and
many law students face an enormous challenge in trying to fund their
legal educations. Most law students soon learn that very few private
scholarships exist for law school. For this reason, MALDEF's Law School
Scholarship Program exists to support several deserving law students
each year who have a commitment to advancing the civil rights of Latinos
through law. MALDEF relies 100% on private donations to fund this
critical Program. It is our intention that these scholarships will be
significant enough in amount to make a noticeable impact on the lives of
our award recipients. DONATE TODAY!
