Kegler Brown's Minority Merit Scholarship

The law firm of Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter is currently seeking applicants for its minority student merit scholarship. This spring, the firm will award up to two (2) scholarships to two deserving first year minority law students.

Each $5,000 Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter Minority Merit Scholarship includes a paid summer clerkship position with the firm’s first-year summer associate class. All first-year law students of minority descent are eligible to apply
for the scholarship.

Scholarship application materials are due to Kegler Brown no later than January 7, 2013. Interested students should submit a résumé, application, undergraduate transcripts and first semester law school transcripts (when

The application, submission details and additional information about the scholarship are available on our website. 2013 marks the tenth year for the Kegler Brown Minority Merit Scholarship, which is awarded annually to a minority student based on academic performance, accomplishments, activities and potential contributions to the legal community. Minority students from all law schools will be considered for the scholarship.

Kegler Brown maintains an internal diversity committee to formalize and further the firm's commitment to achieving diversity at all levels of the organization. A combined sub-group of the diversity and recruiting committees also is in place and is charged with setting and accomplishing goals related to increasing racial diversity. As a result, the firm has increased its efforts to recruit and to actively encourage the application and selection of minority candidates in the firm's summer associate program. The firm appreciates the importance of diversity and inclusion. Through
activities such as the Kegler Brown Minority Merit Scholarship and our Women Lawyers’ Initiative, Kegler Brown is continually promoting and developing a diverse future for the firm. Additionally, Kegler Brown is a founding member
