Minority
Corporate Council Association Scholarship
The
Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) is excited to announce
the establishment of the Lloyd M. Johnson, Jr. Scholarship Program.
The association is continuing their initiative designed to support
entering first year law students nationwide who have been accepted
into an accredited law school.
The scholarship
program comes at a time when the diversification of corporate
law faces some of its toughest challenges yet. On the one hand,
globalization and the general diversification of business challenges
corporations to create diverse teams that can manage legal affairs
across the country and the globe in order to remain competitive.
On the other
hand, dwindling federal and university scholarships and programs
have made it difficult to attract minorities to the legal profession.
Compounding the problem is the fact that for many students of
color, successfully tackling the initial hurdles of applying for,
being admitted, and financing a legal education may feel like
an insurmountable goal.
College
seniors, college graduates and graduate students are eligible
to apply. The program is open to entering 1st year law students.
