Over 20 years ago, Farella Braun + Martel LLP created the Diversity Scholarship Program to assist Bay Area students in their first year of law school who meet eligibility requirements to defray some part of their legal education expenses. For 2025, there will be a total of $45,000 in scholarship grants to be divided equally among three recipients. Applicants must be current law students who are about to complete or just completed their first-year classes in good standing, pursuing a J.D. at one of the eligible law schools in California. Applicants must be students whose academic achievement, employment and community service indicate strong potential to excel in the legal profession and be a future leader in taking actions towards making the legal profession more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. This means actions towards ensuring or working to ensure equal access, opportunity and participation for everyone in the legal community. A group of attorneys and legal professionals make up the panel of judges who will review the applications. The panel will select no more than five finalists for the three scholarships who will be interviewed. After the interviews have been conducted, the panel will make the final selection of the three law student recipients. All recipients will be offered the opportunity to participate in a formal mentoring program by our Firm's attorneys throughout their second year of law school. Scholarship recipients will be chosen based upon a combination of merit and financial need. Preference will be given to applicants demonstrating a commitment to working and living in the Bay Area after the completion of their legal studies. Applicants must provide a list of no more than three references, including name, address, telephone number and email address (if possible). Please note that it is preferred that at least one of the references be a law school professor or instructor. Additionally, applicants may provide no more than two letters of recommendation, which may also be from people whom the applicants have listed as references.
