Helping Students
Succeed in Law

Scholarships & Bursaries Overview

In 2024, the Foundation introduced funding for three annual Upper-Year Law School Scholarships, each valued at $5,000, with the first awards to be granted in 2025. These scholarships will be presented to residents of Newfoundland and Labrador who have excelled academically in their first or second year of law school and expressed a clear commitment to returning to the province to practice law. Eligible students must be enrolled in a Canadian law school recognized by the Foundation’s Scholarships Committee.
