DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The Diversity Scholarship Fund is one of the many unique ways that Frost Brown Todd (FBT)
promotes the recruitment and professional advancement of diverse attorneys within our local legal community.

Goal: The Fund is designed to assist bright, impressive, and diverse law students who deserve
financial help with education costs.

Requirements and Application: An LGBT law student who seeks to participate in the Fund must have a specific monetary need (i.e., assistance with the purchase of textbooks) and a mentoring relationship with an FBT attorney. The FBT attorney who serves in a mentoring capacity for the student will nominate the student for a scholarship. The nomination must include:

          (1) a written statement from the student describing the reason(s) why he or she deserves a scholarship;

          (2) a specific dollar request for a specific need related to education; and

          (3) a brief written statement by the nominator regarding how he or she knows the student and why the       student should be granted a scholarship.

Processing Nominations: After submission, the request will be forwarded to FBT’s Diversity
Scholarship Subcommittee who will review the materials and determine whether the student shall receive a full or partial scholarship, if any.

Typical requests range from approximately $300 to $1000. The Subcommittee will certainly entertain requests for more than $1000.00 if the written statements reflect a substantial and compelling need.
