Websites for Law School Scholarships

Has anyone found any good websites for law school scholarships? I've looked a few times and there's not much out there. Most of the stuff I find is either mislabeled or has extremely specific criteria.

So I'm not an expert, but I'd try the ABA, the schools themselves, professional associations that relate to your work, community organizations, and awards that you may qualify for based on your stats.

Yeah, I've been doing this since posting.

So you've run lots of searches but no luck yet? State bars and law firms might be helpful organizations as well. Maybe.

Honestly, doesn't seem to be much out there for me (because I'm white). I've been sending out emails to check my eligibility with sponsors. lol

There are some large general scholarships that are probably really competitive, but I guess it's worth a shot. :P

You should try reaching out to the financial aid office of the school you are planning to attend. They may give you scholarships tailored to your profile

Seconding the idea of talking to the people at the schools themselves. They tend to know a lot more that might be available than anyone on the outside does. Advisors, financial aid, etc.

And hopefully alumni can help provide ideas.
