Scholarships

SEO Law offers three scholarships per year to help promising underrepresented incoming law students attend the law school of their choice. SEO Law awards one $10,000 scholarship and two $5,000 scholarships.


 

The SEO Scholarship will make a world of difference for me. This financial support will allow me to take advantage of the opportunities that I would not otherwise be able to without financial assistance, such as an unpaid public interest summer internship.”
