The Don H. Liu Scholars Program (the “Program”) was founded in 2014 by two past presidents of the Asian American Bar Association of New York.  The Program seeks to identify and cultivate future Asian American leaders in the legal community to address the single most important reality facing Asian American professionals today -- the barrier to advancement.  

This year, the Selection Committee will select up to 3 scholars.  Each scholar will be awarded $15,000 each and have access to prominent mentors, including Don H. Liu, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Target Corporation.   Additionally, scholars will have assistance in securing summer internships.  Details and more information about the Program can be found in the online brochure here: Don H. Liu Scholars Program Brochure 

To be eligible for the Program, the applicant must be of Asian descent and be enrolled full-time as a 1L in a law school in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania or the District of Columbia.  Application materials are due on November 18, 2016. For more details on the application process and eligibility requirements, please see the attached application package.
