Helping Hand Scholarship

The Helping Hand Scholarship was established by an anonymous alumni who graduated from law school with a profound respect for fellow students that juggled their studies and raising small children. This generous benefactor plays a tremendous role in providing parents with much needed assistance during law school. The donor’s generosity has been cited many times as a factor in helping students with children to continue their studies.

The Helping Hand Scholarship is available to single custodial parents with children under the age of 18. Special consideration is given to students with children under the age of six (or who are not attending full-day school programs), and the ages and number of children of the applicant are heavily considered. Recipients must be in good academic standing and are invited to reapply for continued funding. This scholarship is available to students who will be either a second, third or fourth year student in the year following the receipt of the award. Each year the committee selects several students to share $10,000 in tuition support from this endowed scholarship.
