Scholarship
The Diversity in the Profession Committee aims to strengthen and
diversify the pipeline of individuals entering the legal profession and
encourage involvement in the State Bar of Texas by familiarizing
students with State Bar activities. By helping defray the financial
burden of preparing for the Texas Bar Exam, this scholarship
facilitates the transition into the legal profession for law students
from backgrounds traditionally under-represented in the profession.
Third-year law school students who attend an ABA-accredited Texas law
school and who are preparing for the Texas Bar Exam are eligible
for this scholarship.
