Minority Scholarship Program
To date, we have awarded nearly $550,000 in scholarships to minority law students.
In 1998, Foley created the Minority Scholarship Program in an effort to raise awareness of diversity related issues in the legal profession. A strong and effective diversity program is one of the highest priorities of our firm, and the Minority Scholarship Program exemplifies Foley’s tangible commitment to the advancement of minority law students and to achieving a more diverse legal community.
Minority students in their first year of law school at Berkeley, Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Michigan, Northwestern, UCLA, and Wisconsin are eligible to apply for the scholarship. One scholarship in the amount of $5,000 is awarded to a student at each school. The scholarship will be paid either to the recipient or to the law school (at the recipient's choice) during the recipient's spring semester and is to be applied to tuition, books, fees and other expenses incident to law school attendance.
Consideration is given to significant involvement in community activities; significant involvement in minority student organizations; outstanding work or personal achievements; and academic records. Financial need is not a consideration. Foley’s Minority Scholarship Program Committee will select each scholarship recipient.
