Description: The Robert Shuker Scholarship Fund was created to aid law students in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The applicant must be a full-time student with a 3.0 grade point average or higher to be eligible.

Application requirements for the Robert Shuker Scholarship Fund are:

  • Application form
  • Recommendation letters (3)
  • Official Transcript
  • Essay
  • LSAT score
Additional Information: Grantees for both scholarships will be chosen on the basis of financial need, demonstrated community service, prior scholastic ability, recommendations from instructors, and conclusions the board of directors might draw from a personal interview as to the individual's motivation, character, ability, and potential. Grantees will be selected on an objective and non-discriminatory basis. Student selection will be made from those applications submitted which meet the criteria. No persons related by blood or marriage to any member or former member of the board of directors or to a disqualified person (within the meaning of section 4946 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the taxpayer will be eligible for an award. Grantees will be required to make reports each grading period concerning their grades and academic standing during the one-year scholarship period. Follow-up procedures will be used when a grantee is not performing satisfactorily and payments will be withheld in such a case. If a grantee ceases study prior to the completion of the undertaking, the grantee will be required to refund a prorated amount of the grant for the portion of study that was not completed.

Award Amount: $10,000 to $20,000 annually, non-renewable. This scholarship is to be used to help defer law school expenses (such as tuition, room and board, and books). Students may reapply each year.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $15,000.
