Bar Foundation seeks law scholarship apps

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Bar Foundation, the charitable arm of the nonprofit Rhode Island Bar Association, is seeking scholarship applications for anyone planning to attend law school.
The Bar Foundation awards two Thomas F.

The scholarship is for the first year of law school only and nonrenewable. Each award is made based on demonstrated financial need, superior academic performance, community and public service and demonstrated contacts with and commitment to the state.
