The Boerner Lustbader Access Admission Scholarship Endowed Fund, named for program founders Professors Emeriti Paula Lustbader and David Boerner, will be awarded to Seattle University School of Law graduating students who entered law school through the Access Admission Program. The Scholarship will be awarded following both Winter and Spring graduations (December and May).
A selection committee will review all scholarship applications and select recipients with applicant input from the Director of Bar Studies.
During their last semester of law school, students who entered the School of Law through the Access Admission program will receive an email, inviting them to complete a Scholarship Application. The Scholarship Application will include the following elements: (1) Bar Exam Study Plan; (2) Financial Readiness Assessment; (3) Personal Statement; (4) Resume; and (5) Law School Transcript.
Recipients will be chosen based upon significant financial challenges they are facing during the bar preparation period and life circumstances that put them at risk of not passing the bar exam on their first attempt.
