Scholarships

Each year, the ISIAL Educational Fund (a 501(c)(3) corporation associated with the Society) awards a scholarship to a qualifying law student.   The competitive application process includes the following requirements:

  – submission of resume and law school transcript
  – a showing of financial need
  – a showing of exceptional grades
  – a short letter stating why they should be awarded the scholarship
  – a short description of the applicant’s Irish ancestry  

The winning applicant and their guests are invited and expected to attend the ISIAL Annual Dinner.  The winning applicant will also receive a waiver for their ISIAL dues for their first year after law school.

Applications are available from your law school’s Office of Financial Assistance or contact Frances Murphy at: 27735 Jefferson Ave, Saint Clair Shores, MI 48081; fran@franmurphylaw.com.   The application is also available here: http://irish-lawyers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Scholarship-Application-2023-template.png.  All applications are to be submitted to Frances Murphy.
