Justin P. Walder Scholarship

New Jersey State Bar Foundation

For 30 years, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation has been awarding scholarships to worthy students, entering their second or third year at a New Jersey law school.

The criteria for the selection of candidates include academic excellence (grade-point average and class standing), participation in extracurricular activities, financial need and community service. Applications are available at the beginning of the second semester in the Financial Aid Office at New Jersey law schools.

We award up to nine scholarships each year. Of these, the State Bar Foundation bestows one scholarship to a student in each of New Jersey’s three law schools: Rutgers University School of Law—Newark; Rutgers University School of Law—Camden; Seton Hall University School of Law.
