The Law Place Law School Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by The Law Place
Introduction
At The Law Place we know choosing to attend law school is likely one of the most significant decisions you’ll make. Law school is costly: U.S. News & World Report’s review of 197 law programs estimates the average annual cost of attendance at $43,020. Recognizing that financial pressure, we offer an annual scholarship to help one aspiring law student.
Scholarship Award
Each year The Law Place awards one $2,500 scholarship to a student who clearly demonstrates commitment to and appreciation for legal study. Our goal is to help reduce the financial burden on the next generation of law students.
