Diversity Fellowships & Scholarships
New York University School of Law is committed to a policy prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, gender and/or gender identify or expression, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, ethnicity, disability, veteran or military status, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, genetic information, marital status, citizenship status, or on any other legally protected basis. The resources listed below are provided for student research only and do not indicate NYU’s endorsement of any program that does not comply with the school’s non-discrimination policies.
Financial support for diverse law students comes in two forms: scholarship funds that are intended to support students from a particular background or demographic, and opportunities which are tied to employment or internships for enrolled students. The Office of Career Services maintains a list of diversity related fellowships and scholarships which are tied to employment or internship opportunities. Please contact law.careers@nyu.edu or (212) 998-6090 for access to the updated list (1L students should wait until October 15 to consider employment-based opportunities, according to NALP guidelines).
