Who We Are
Diversity
In recent years, there have been nationwide discussions on the importance of diversity. But without scholarships, grants, or financial aid, Puerto Ricans and Latinos will remain underrepresented in the legal profession.
In 1978, the Puerto Rican Bar Association created a scholarship fund understanding the importance of a diverse legal profession demonstrative of America’s ethnic landscape. Throughout the years, the Puerto Rican Bar has increased the opportunity of Puerto Ricans and Latinos by providing scholarships to law students.
Through our scholarships, we are proud to help in increasing the legal demographic with Puerto Rican and Latino attorneys.
Our Goal
The goal of the PRBA Scholarship Fund is to support diversity in the legal profession by providing financial assistance to unrepresented law students. Diversity in law schools are supported through scholarships, grants, tuition and financial assistance programs.
These types of programs are all viable methods of ensuring that Latinos remain represented in the legal profession and the PRBA is proud to support well deserving law students in our community through our scholarship program.
