NAPABA LAW FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS – SAIL SCHOLARSHIP [DEADLINE: JUNE 30, 2022 @ 5 P.M. ET]

Since its founding, the Foundation has awarded more than $500,000 in scholarships and over $1 million in fellowships and internships. The Foundation awards scholarships on a nationwide basis to law students who demonstrate a commitment to serve or contribute to the Asian Pacific American community as future leaders. These scholarships are made possible by donations from numerous corporations, law firms, bar associations, and individuals. The NAPABA Law Foundation strongly encourages applications from applicants reflecting diverse cultural and experiential backgrounds, people with disabilities and of diverse ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds, work experiences, national origins, sexual orientations and ages.
