Our scholarship program was established to reaffirm a commitment to diversity in legal education and the legal profession. Each scholarship involves a substantial three-year commitment to worthy qualified students. The vast majority of scholarships awarded are $10,000 yearly. This program was created in response to the passage of SP-1, the University of California Regent's resolution to end affirmative action and race-based admissions at UC Schools. Over 70 scholarships have been awarded to date! How Can I Help?BASF seeks the assistance of law firms, corporations, and individuals who are willing to help sponsor a scholarship.
