WASHINGTON, DC—Finnegan announced today that applications for its Diversity Scholarship are now being accepted.
The Finnegan Diversity Scholarship provides financial support to qualified diverse students who demonstrate a commitment to pursuing a career in intellectual property law. “Diversity and inclusion are integral parts of Finnegan’s culture,” said Tim Henderson, Finnegan’s Chief Legal Talent Officer. “For more than 15 years, the Diversity Scholarship has been awarded to law students who are a reflection of the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the IP community.”
The Scholarship award of $15,000 may be applied to costs associated with normal tuition and fees (such as, but not limited to, student activity fees; law school or university fees, and administrative fees). The scholarship recipient will also join the firm as a 2023 2L summer associate in one of its domestic offices (Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Palo Alto, CA; Reston, VA; or Washington, DC). The scholarship may be renewed if an associate offer is extended and accepted for Fall 2024.
In addition to a demonstrated commitment to pursuing a career in intellectual property law, selection criteria include exceptional academic performance at the undergraduate, graduate (if applicable), and law school level; a degree in life sciences/chemistry, engineering, or computer science, or substantial prior trademark experience; relevant work experience; community service; leadership skills; and special accomplishments.
