For the past decade, the Diversity Committee, through the Business Law Section, 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 Business Law Section 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 Business Law Section.
