Diversity Scholarship Opportunities
2025 Diversity Scholarship Opportunities
The Haynes Boone Diversity Scholarships have been established to attract outstanding students to the private practice of law while helping these students be successful in law school through both work and mentorship experiences. Our Diversity Scholarships are offered along with the Traditional nine- to ten-week paid summer clerkship with Haynes Boone and are paid during the school year. For 1L students, there is an opportunity to receive up to $50,000 in scholarship funds to assist with school related expenses. Haynes Boone is committed to recruiting, retaining, and advancing young lawyers and our scholarships are one of the many initiatives we have implemented to contribute toward enhancing our firm and profession. Students interested in applying for a scholarship are required to submit a diversity statement along with their application materials. Our Diversity Scholarships are open to all law students, regardless of race/ethnicity, color, religion, citizenship, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, military service, disability, or any other characteristic or condition protected by applicable law.
