One year after it was launched, eight law students from across Canada
have been chosen to each receive a $3,000 scholarship from the Legal
Leaders for Diversity trust fund for the upcoming academic year. The
scholarships will provide financial assistance to students with
physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments for undergraduate
or graduate studies at Canadian law faculties.
Last fall, the deans of the law faculties were contacted by the trustees of the program — members of Legal Leaders for Diversity — inviting them to submit a list of candidates. The only requirement for consideration was that the students have a disability and be in need of financial help. While the deans encouraged certain students to apply, it was up to the students themselves to submit applications.
