Annual Legal Education Scholarship

In 1987, the LVNBA made a commitment to encourage Black Nevadans to acquire a legal education and practice law in the State of Nevada through example and financial support. Since that time, the LVNBA has awarded one or more legal scholarship(s) on an annual basis. In 2008, the Las Vegas National Bar Association Foundation was founded (the "Foundation'). The Foundation administers and grants the legal education scholarships.

Scholarship applications will be available in the near future.
