Description
Award:
LDF’s Earl Warren
Scholarship awards are $10,000 per year for three years (as long as scholars
remain in good academic standing and continue to meet the scholarship criteria)
for a total of $30,000. In addition to financial assistance, Earl Warren scholars
are given two unique opportunities: (1) an LDF internship, externship, or
guided research project—competitive positions that are sought out by dozens of
students every year, and (2) an invitation to LDF’s Civil Rights Training
Institute, an invitation-only annual civil rights conference that brings
together civil rights advocates, scholars, and attorneys to discuss strategies
and to network.
Information:
The Earl Warren
Scholarship is named for the Honorable Earl Warren, the 14th Chief Justice of
the United States and former Governor of California whose stewardship of the
Warren Court helped end school segregation and transform America’s legal
landscape.
In honor of his memory, the Earl Warren Scholarship is awarded annually to rising law students whose commitment to racial justice reveals outstanding potential for training as civil rights and public interest attorneys.
Eligibility:
Eligible law students include those
entering their first or second year of full-time legal study at an accredited
law school.
