Faith Based Scholarship

The scholarship will award $2000 annually to a current or prospective law school student. If you are driven by the desire to lead with integrity and faith, we encourage you to apply to the Fellowship Scholarship. By supporting future leaders in law, we aim to build a world where ethical considerations and spiritual insights guide legal practice.

In a world where laws often intersect with personal beliefs, understanding the role of religion in practicing law is more important than ever.

Religion can provide a moral compass, guiding legal professionals to uphold justice and ethics in their work. It influences values, ethics, and decision-making processes, fostering empathy and integrity—qualities essential for a fair legal system.

Whether it’s navigating sensitive cases or ensuring equitable access to justice, acknowledging religious perspectives can enhance a lawyer’s ability to serve diverse communities.
