MALDEF Law School Scholarship Program

MALDEF supports law students who seek to further MALDEF’s mission of advancing the civil rights of the Latino community in the United States. In recent years MALDEF has awarded five to 15 scholarships of $2,000 to $10,000 each to deserving law students from throughout the nation. Applicants are evaluated for their academic and extracurricular achievements, for their background and financial need, and, most important, for their demonstrated commitment to advancing Latino civil rights in their careers.
