SDCDLA Launches Scholarship Grant for Three Aspiring Lawyers
The San Diego Lawyers Association (SDCDLA) will be providing scholarship grants to three aspiring lawyers based in the San Diego area. In its official website, the SDCDLA announced that they are searching for three individuals who want to become lawyers but do not have the financial means to support their education. The SDCDLA says they are open to accepting any individual regardless of age, marital status, and profession if any, for as long as they are eligible to be admitted in a law school, they are financially incapable to spend for their education, yet they have the strong drive to become a lawyer.
SDCDLA Executive Director Robert Christensen says the scholarship will cover all the tuition fee and school-related expenses of the grantee. “We want to make a dream come true. We know that there are a lot of individuals out there who have the drive, the right set of values, and the heart to serve the underserved but they are hampered by financial incapacity. This is our way of giving back to the industry, to the profession, to the community,” Christensen explains.
Christensen says they will be choosing three scholarship applications from those that they will be receiving. Those who wish to apply for a scholarship should be incoming first year law students and a permanent resident of the United States. They should also fill out an essay questionnaire that will help the SDCDLA Board decide whether they will be granted the scholarship or not. As for grades, the prospective grantee should have an at least minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in her undergraduate studies.
Law is one of the most expensive degrees in the United States. Media Agency US and World Report News has published a write-up on how much a law degree costs. Harvard Law
“The average tuition and fees for attending a private law school during the 2016-2017 school year costs around $43,020 per year compared with $26,264 for state residents and $39,612 for out-of-state students at a public law school, according to data reported by 197 ranked schools to U.S. News in an annual survey. Law school students who attend a private law school borrow more in loans to finance their education. According to data reported to U.S. News, J.D. students who graduated in 2016 incurred an average debt of $130,349 by the time they completed their degree from a private school, compared with $90,217 for those who attended a public school.” Check out the rest of the report here.
The SDCDLA will be accepting scholarship applications until September this year, and will be announcing the names of the grantees I time for the Association’s Thanksgiving Luncheon in November.
