The Emerging Law Leaders Scholarship is open to all admitted students matriculating to the Law School in fall of 2008 who complete a 500 word essay on how they plan to use their law school experience to advocate for the elimination of educational inequality. All current or past participants in Teach for America who have been admitted to the University of Chicago Law School’s Class of 2011 will automatically be considered for the Scholarship provided they submit the essay via e-mail to Sarah Rewerts (srewerts@uchicago.edu), Director of Financial Aid, by March 15, 2008.
