The University of New Mexico School of Law is offering a special scholarship program for American Indians to attend law school. The program includes an eight-week summer session and support for the first year of law school. Students will receive grants to cover expenses, full tuition scholarships, travel funds, and book allowances. The program aims to encourage American Indians to pursue legal studies and provide them with the necessary skills for success in law school. Applicants must have completed at least three years of college and demonstrate aptitude for law. Approximately 15 scholarships will be awarded for the summer session, with selection based on college records, interest in the program, and Law School Admission Test scores. Students who continue in the program will enroll as regular law students in the following academic year. Additional opportunities for development and individualized attention will be provided to participants.
