The Stonewall Scholarship is dedicated to removing all barriers that discriminate against men and women on the basis of their sexual orientation. Accordingly, the Stonewall Scholarship will provide a grant to a University of Chicago law student who is likely to use his or her legal education toward the advancement of gay and lesbian rights. Candidates will be judged without regard to their sexual orientation or financial need.

Admitted applicants or current students who wish to apply for this scholarship should submit by May 3 an essay highlighting their past participation in gay and lesbian causes or other activities demonstrating a commitment to gay and lesbian rights, and their plans for the future. Essays should be mailed to The Stonewall Scholarship Committee, c/o The Law School, The University of Chicago, 1111 East 60th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637.
