Nevada Endowed Scholarship
Alumni conducting their legal practice in the State of Nevada established the endowment fund in 1987 through annual gift support, intending that proceeds from this fund be distributed among entering and continuing students enrolled from Nevada. The annual amount awarded is governed by the earnings on this endowment fund. Criteria for scholarship awards will be established, or adjusted from time to time, by Nevada alumni who are also members of the Alumni Association's Board of Directors.
Criteria: Applicants must be, have been, or intend to become residents of Nevada. Special consideration will be given to students who have lived in Nevada or are applying from a Nevada undergraduate university, and to students enrolled at Pacific McGeorge and are active participants in the Nevada Students Association. Students should have a demonstrated financial need.
Rhode Island Bar Foundation
A one-time non renewable scholarship for an applicant entering law school in the 2012-2013 academic year who is a Rhode Island resident. Applications are available at the Pacific McGeorge Financial Aid Office or go to the Rhode Island Bar Foundation website.
Robert, Aimee & Rosalie Asher Scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2003 through the estate of the late Rosalie Asher, a 1940 Pacific McGeorge graduate. Her primary reason for establishing the scholarship was to honor her father. He wanted to attend law school but had to work and couldn't afford to go. Through this scholarship fund, Ms. Asher wants to make available to other law school hopefuls the opportunity that was denied her father. The scholarship is named for Ms. Asher's parents and herself. The only criterion is that the applicant be a first-year student with financial need.
