Each year the ABA awards LOSF scholarships to first-year law students of color. The mission of the program is to encourage racial and ethnic minority students to achieve their Juris Doctorate for a more diverse and inclusive legal profession.
The ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship grants incoming diverse law students with $15,000 each over their three years in school. Since its inception, more than 400 students from across the country have received the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship. Applications for the 2022 ABA LOSF for students entering law school in the Fall 2022 session are accepted until April 15, 2022.
