American Indian College Fund Offering New "American Indian Law School Scholarship" to Attend Harvard Law School

Denver, Colo.—December 5, 2017–The American Indian College Fund Native scholars at Harvard Law School have what it takes to succeed. A law degree is the foundation to creating strong future leaders. Thanks to a gift of $1 million from an anonymous donor, the American Indian College Fund will award the first American Indian Law School Scholarship in the fall of the 2018-19 academic year. The scholarship covers all costs of attendance, including tuition for the three-year course of study at Harvard Law School, for one Native student.

Eligible applicants must be American Indian or Alaska Native and an enrolled tribal member or lineal descendant of an enrolled parent or grandparent. Preference will be given to a tribal college and university graduate. One full scholarship will be awarded to an incoming first-year 2018 Harvard Law School student seeking a law degree. Two additional three-year scholarships will be awarded to one Native student entering Harvard Law School in 2021 and one Native student entering Harvard Law School in 2024. Applicants for the 2018 American Indian Law School Scholarship must apply by January 31, 2018 at http://www.collegefund.org/law2018 to be considered.
