Scholarships

SEO Law offers three scholarships per year to help promising incoming law students cover the cost of law school tuition, fees, or books. Each year, SEO Law awards one $10,000 scholarship and two $5,000 scholarships.


 

“This scholarship will relieve a tremendous financial burden as I begin my law school journey. I will feel less compelled to work during my 1L year and be able to fully dedicate myself to my academic endeavors and extracurriculars. In law school, I hope to be able to continue pursuing professional opportunities that may not be the most lucrative but are aligned with my personal goals and passions. SEO Law’s support and scholarship will allow me to confidently pave a career path that is both fulfilling and reflective of my experiences.
