2022 NBI Law Scholars Program Winners

In August 2022, the National Bar Institute Board of Directors selected six (6) students from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) as the latest Cohorts. The NBI Law Scholars Program was designed to assist a student at the beginning of his or her second year of law school. When a student completes his or her third year, the NBI will provide support as the student prepares to take the bar exam. Each student will receive a grant that will help cover the cost of a bar review course and the bar application fees.

This year’s Law Scholars represent schools located in Florida, California, Texas, Louisiana, and Washington, D.C. These Scholars have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to pursuing the legal profession and a desire to serve their communities. They will complete their studies in 2024.

The Board extends its heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for a successful law school year!
