Law Student Diversity Scholarship

To increase diversity in the legal profession in a constructive and tangible way, DRI awards three law student scholarships annually – one for $10,000 and two for $5,000. The goal of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance to three worthy law students from ABA accredited law schools to promote the DRI Diversity Statement in Principle.

Recipients of the scholarship are announced at the DRI Diversity for Success Seminar.
