SARASOTA COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION (SCBA) ANNUAL RICHARD R. GARLAND DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP [DEADLINE: JAN. 30, 2016]
As always, the SCBA program brings aboard a student or multiple students (depending on number of applicants and number of participating employers as well as available funds) for paid summer positions in Sarasota County.
Eligibility: While this is an amazing opportunity, the challenge of affording housing for the summer typically limits applicants to only those that already have some sort of tie to the Sarasota area such that they have a place to stay nearby. The end goal is to find applicants who have an interest in living and working in Sarasota and who will help increase the diversity of our Bar Association.
Award: On top of their paid positions, these students will receive a scholarship at the end of the summer in an amount up to $5,000. They cannot guarantee $5,000 for each student but they try very hard to fundraise in order to provide that amount.
