The Mexican American Bar Foundation proudly announces the application season for its scholarship awards. The Foundation was established in 1991 by volunteer lawyers and judges. Through the generosity of law firms, corporate law departments, and others committed to increasing access for Latinos to the legal profession, the Foundation has awarded over $400,000 in scholarships to almost 250 deserving law students.

In awarding scholarships, the Foundation’s Scholarship Committee considers the applicant’s financial need, commitment to community service, and academic achievement. Students of Latin heritage attending law school at Loyola, Pepperdine, Southwestern, UCLA, or USC are eligible to apply.
