New Full-Tuition Scholarship Program at the University of the District of Columbia School of Law

The David A. Clarke School of Law at the University of the District of Columbia announced the Advocate for Justice Scholarship program. The program is open to students of all races who have “a proven track record” in their commitment to justice and advocacy. The scholarships will cover full tuition and living expenses at the law school for three years. The law school hopes to award 20 scholarships for the class entering this coming fall.

While the undergraduate student body at the University of the District of Columbia is predominantly black, African Americans make up only 30 percent of the students at the law school.
