The State Bar of Wisconsin's Diversity Outreach Committee will
offer a limited number of scholarships in the spring of 2009 to
reimburse the cost of law school books. First year students of
diverse backgrounds may apply for the reimbursement if they are in
good academic standing and can demonstrate financial need. The
reimbursements will not exceed $500 per student. Specific
scholarship amounts depend on the availability of funds and the
number of applicants.
Application Guidelines

application form.
2. Attach a one-paragraph statement (maximum length: one page,
double spaced) on how diversity has impacted your life.
3. Attach a copy of your second-semester required law book

4. Identify your required book purchases by circling each in

later than March 16, 2009.
