The American Bar Association Legal Opportunity Scholarship supports racially and ethnically diverse students attending accredited US law schools. The scholarship provides $15,000 over three years to selected students who demonstrate a commitment to a legal career. Recipients participate in annual ABA meetings and legal education programming, gaining exposure to the legal profession's senior leadership. The programme was established to increase diversity in the legal profession, which remains one of the least diverse of all professional fields in the United States.
