Labor Law Scholarship

New Jersey State Bar Foundation

For 30 years, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation has been awarding scholarships to worthy students, entering their second or third year at a New Jersey law school.

The criteria for the selection of candidates include academic excellence (grade-point average and class standing), participation in extracurricular activities, financial need and community service.

We award up to nine scholarships each year. Of these, the State Bar Foundation bestows one scholarship to a student in each of New Jersey’s three law schools: Rutgers University School of Law—Newark; Rutgers University School of Law—Camden; Seton Hall University School of Law.

The Labor Law Scholarship is earmarked for a student wishing to enter the field of labor law. In addition to the criteria mentioned above, particular attention is given to academic achievement in the area of labor law.
