For the past decade, the Committee on Diversity, through
the Section of Business Law, has awarded four to five $1,000
scholarships annually to CLEO Fellow Scholars. CLEO Fellow
Scholars are selected based on an essay competition to attend
the Section of Business Law Spring Meeting. The CLEO Fellow
Scholar must be a first or second year law student that participated
in a CLEO pre-law summer institute program or a pre-law weekend
program, is a member of the ABA Law Student Division and is
interested in pursuing a career in business law. It is the
hope that upon graduation, the CLEO Fellow Scholars will
remain actively involved in the Section of Business Law.
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2009 CLEO Scholarship.
Please check back this summer for information regarding the 2010 CLEO
Scholarship. For more information, contact Leslie Banas at
banasl@staff.abanet.org or (312) 988-5630.
