Student Organizations - More Funding Options

ABA Law Student Division

The ABA Law Student Division, through its Grant Program, provides financial and program support to student organizations of ABA-approved law schools to establish first-time programs and other activities that emphasize diversity, ethics, professionalism training, law student mental health and wellness, veterans advocacy and public interest/service activities.

The Grant Program is designed to assist law student organizations that implement new programs. The Grant Fund is not intended to support fundraisers, to be used as a source for donating to charitable organizations or to be a source for funding student travel. ABA Law Student Division-sponsored events should benefit a significant number of students.
