Current Outside Resources
Student Financial Services maintains contact with organizations offering a wide variety of outside resources. We regularly post information about these outside resources on this web page.
Current students can also login to the HLS Office of Career Services job database and search under “Diversity” to find more law firm scholarship opportunities for students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented at law firms.
See our list of past sources of outside scholarship funding received by HLS students for more details on additional application deadlines and links to program websites.
