The University of West Los Angeles School of Law, Glendale University College of Law, and Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law have established the LA County Committee of Bar Examiners Accredited Law Schools Scholarship to assist students pursuing graduate study at the University of West Los Angeles School of Law, Glendale University College of Law, or Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award in the amount of $3,000.

Awards are not renewable; however, applicants may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Financial need is not considered for merit-based awards. However, financial need as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive a need-based award.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of University of West Los Angeles School of Law, Glendale University College of Law, or Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Applicants will be notified in late July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments in one installment in August.
