Description

The Rhode Island Bar Foundation's Thomas F. Black, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1989 to support and foster high legal practice standards by assisting Rhode Island residents who show promise that they will become outstanding lawyers and who need financial assistance to study law. The Scholarship is in honor of the late Thomas F. Black, Jr., a person known for his impressive ability as a lawyer and banker, his deeply rooted legal scholarship and his notable participation in civic and charitable causes. The Bar Foundation intends to award scholarships to students who will be entering their first year of law school in September 2025. The scholarship is for the first year of law school only. Two letters of recommendation are required. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
