GRAWA’s GRACE Scholarship Program accepting applications
By: Daily Record Staff//April 11, 2024//
The Greater Rochester Association for Women Attorneys (GRAWA) has announced the launch of its GRACE Scholarship Program.
The program is for aspiring law students from racial and ethnic backgrounds historically underserved and unrepresented in the legal profession.
The program is designed to support and empower women of color who are committed to pursuing a legal career but face financial barriers to preparing for or taking the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
GRAWA recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. By offering this scholarship to rising college seniors or recent college graduates with ties to the Rochester area, the association aims to increase representation of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in law schools and ultimately in Rochester’s legal community.
“We believe that diversity strengthens the legal profession and enhances our ability to serve our clients and community more effectively,” said Josie Sheppard-Wilson, immediate past president of GRAWA.
The scholarship will help defray the cost of LSAT preparation materials, courses, and exam fees. Applicants must identify as women and belong to a historically underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
They must also demonstrate financial need and how they embody GRAWA’s mission.
Applications will be accepted until May 29. Interested individuals can find more information and download the application here.
For more information about the scholarship program, contact the scholarship committee at [email protected].
