Seattle University School of Law

Scholars for Justice Awards

Justice Awards are awarded to two students in each entering class who demonstrate commitment to a career in public interest law. Scholarships are full-tuition and will be given based on a demonstrated commitment to pursuing a career as a public interest lawyer, involvement in significant public service and/or social justice activities prior to coming to law school and academic achievement.

Native American Law Scholarship

A three-year, full-tuition scholarship will be awarded to an admitted student who is an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe. The recipient will demonstrate a commitment to Native issues, academic achievement and promise. Native Americans have one of the smallest bars in the nation, and Seattle University School of Law is committed to increasing the number of Native students who attend law school.

The Adolf A. Berle, Jr. Scholarship

The Adolf A. Berle, Jr. Scholarship is awarded annually to a student who: (1) has a keen intellectual interest in understanding the nature of modern society, and particularly, the nature of the modern corporation, and its intersection with law and society; (2) exhibits a passion for using his or her legal education to the fullest, whether as private lawyer, public servant, teacher, or scholar; and (3) has excelled in life prior to law school. The Berle Scholar receives a grant (without regard to financial need) in the amount of full tuition. The grant is awarded for one year, but is renewed annually based on satisfactory participation in program activities.
