Comments
Are these awards open for persons applying to Canadian JD programs or is it strictly American JD programs only?
who are some people we can list for the contact info of "someone who might be able to verify some of this information"? A friend? Professor?? A professional reference/supervisor?
I would assume only American seeing as the link with full details specifies it is open to students pursuing an American JD.
I was hoping it was available for Canadian JD programs too
I feel like my chances of winning are so low lol...but I'm broke as hell. what a dilemma.
Hi @Ashley2018, former admissions officer and current consultant here--it's certainly worth it to try!
Hi @NNNNJJJJ, 7Sage Consultant here--you can list someone that you would be able to use as a reference--they could be a professional reference, a mentor, or whomever you think could best attest to the information you're including.
Hi @GJStaats, thank you for your question! Yes, this scholarship program is currently for candidates applying specifically to American JD programs.
Hi @Bandmanrill, thanks for responding, and you are correct. I appreciate your comment--we'll be sure to see how we may be able to expand the scholarship program for the future!
When will the result be released?
Hi, just a follow-up question, I was wondering gor the 'someone who might be able to verify some of this information', which information is this referring to. The financial aspect or more one's background and mission?
Hi @yayu.zheng, thank you for your question! You can anticipate that winners would be announced a few weeks after the application deadline.
Hi @inioluwa.ade, thank you for your question! It would be best to use a reference that has knowledge about multiple aspects of your candidacy. Use your best judgment!
could we see writing samples from winners?
Hi,are there some writing samples from previous winners? It may help us get a general sense of the essays. Thank you.
Hi @Ashley2018 and @"maria_617-1"
Sorry, due to privacy concerns, we are unable to share writing samples from previous winners.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
