Law Scholarship
“It has been an extremely challenging and rewarding year, and the NWCL Law Scholarship was absolutely essential. The added financial help during school provided a much needed peace of mind.”

The award will be paid to the student, and the awarded funds may be used by the student for any expenses related to the student’s law school education. All of the details are below, including a link to the application. We offer this scholarship award biannually, in the spring and fall.
