Scholarship Resources
Since MALDEF's founding, it has been an organizational hallmark to
support the next generation of lawyers who will advance the civil rights
of the Latino community. MALDEF's Law School Scholarship Program awards
scholarships of varying amounts to several students each year based on
their commitment to serve the Latino community through law; their past
achievement and potential for achievement; and their financial need.
MALDEF's Law School Scholarship Application for the 2010-2011 school
year is NOW AVAILABLE to all law students who will be enrolled full-time
in an American-accredited law school in 2010-2011. APPLY NOW!
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!
Currently, MALDEF is only able to provide scholarships to law students, but we have a developed a comprehensive Undergraduate Scholarship Resource Guide that is regularly updated and available for free downloading. MALDEF's intention is for all students to find scholarship resources in this Guide to assist them in financing their educations. The resources listed include scholarships and financial aid for permanent legal residents and U.S. Citizens, as well as private scholarships available to all students, regardless of immigration status, or country of origin. Everyone deserves the right to higher education. DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE!
