Pre-Law Scholarships.
Alma College is distinctive among the nation's quality liberal arts colleges because it offers a limited number (about ten per entering class) of Pre-Law Scholarships to talented new students. They range in amount up to $2,000 per year. These scholarships are renewable for a maximum of four years, conditional on good academic performance, continuing commitment to law school as one option after graduation, and enrollment each Fall and Winter term in one course drawn from a list of courses, provided by the Pre-Law Coordinator and deemed suitable for pre-law students. First-year Pre-Law Scholarship holders are also expected to interact with other pre-law students by attending meetings of the Alma College Barrister Society, run by and for pre-law students. Candidates' performances on all of the following are taken into account in awarding Pre-Law Scholarships: (1) high school (or, for transfer students, high school and college) academic record, especially in college-bound courses; (2) ACT and/or SAT scores; (3) results of the Alma College Pre-Law Scholarship Test. For more information about the Alma College Pre-Law Scholarships, contact the current Pre-Law Coordinator, Dr. Robert Cunningham, at Alma College, Alma, MI 48801 or (989) 463-7015 or cunningham@alma.edu
The practice of law and the issues brought to lawyers by their clients encompass all aspects of life. Attorneys are asked to help their clients with matters from birth to death. . . . What better background to prepare for such diverse issues than to have received a broad, liberal arts education. I will always be grateful for the life foundation I received at Alma College. -Kurt Mabbitt '69; Wayne State '75
