Thank you for your interest in the Arkansas Association of Women Lawyers Bar Examination Preparation
Scholarship. AAWL provides scholarships to women law students who attend the two law schools in
Arkansas. The amount of the scholarships is determined by the earnings of an endowment account and
the proceeds of fundraising events sponsored by AAWL. AAWL expects to award scholarships totaling
$10,000. The selected recipients will be notified in late March and will be invited to attend a special event
in their honor in Little Rock on April 3, 2020.
The recipients must be women from one of the two law schools in the State and who are in good
standing with their respective schools. The recipients must be February or July 2020 Arkansas bar exam
takers.
The selection criteria include a consideration of financial need, academic performance, academic need
for a bar preparation course, and community service. Recipients may be selected based on any
combination of these factors.
Students who have already paid, in whole or in part, for a commercial bar preparation course are eligible
to apply.
The AAWL Scholarship Selection Committee is comprised of women lawyers who are on the AAWL
Board or who are long-standing members of AAWL.
The deadline to apply is February 16, 2020.
