Amanda Walsh, 4L, 2011 Chicago Bar Foundation Marovitz Scholar
The Chicago Bar Foundation (CBF) is now accepting applications for its 2015 Abraham Lincoln Marovitz Public Interest Law Scholarship. The CBF’s Marovitz Scholarship is intended to support a needy law student who is deeply committed to public interest work so that financial need will not prevent the student from pursuing a legal aid or public interest law career upon graduation.
Loyola has had four students receive the Marovitz Scholarship in the past 11 years, including two current students, so let’s keep the tradition going!
The CBF awards the Marovitz Scholarship annually to one incoming first-year student attending one of the nine Illinois law schools (Chicago-Kent, DePaul, John Marshall, Loyola, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Southern Illinois, University of Chicago, and University of Illinois). These funds, payable over a three-year period, will enable an incoming student who intends to pursue a career in public interest law to have a significant portion of his or her tuition and related expenses covered by scholarship funding. Contingent upon the recipient’s continued compliance with the terms of the Scholarship, the student will receive a total of $40,000 in scholarship funds disbursed as follows: $10,000 in the first year of law school, $15,000 in the second year, and $15,000 in the third year. Applications are due on Monday, May 11, 2015, and the recipient will be announced midsummer.
