Apply For 2019 Edition Of Reginald Aziza Law School Scholarship Award

The Reginald Aziza Foundation is now accepting applications for
the 3rd edition of the Reginald Aziza Leadership in Law Scholarship
Award. Applications are welcome from prospective law school
students with demonstrably strong academic qualifications and
leadership skills, but who are in need of financial assistance.

If you believe you deserve the scholarship or you know someone
who does? Put in an application or encourage the person to do
so.

The scholarship Was conceived as an impactful way to shape the
Nigerian society by grooming the next generation of thought-leaders
in the legal profession. At its core, the scholarship aims to
identify the brightest talents going into the Nigerian Law School,
fund their tuition fees, provide personalised support and
mentorship through their studies, and link them with opportunities
for employment and further education in the best universities in
the world.

Eligibility Criteria

The scholarship is extremely selective. Applicants must have
completed their undergraduate studies at the university at the time
of applying, and must be reasonably confident that they will be
mobilised to the Nigerian Law School, and of their ability to
resume at the beginning of the academic session.

The ideal candidate must be able to demonstrate exceptional
academic ability, strong leadership potential and financial need.
Academic ability will be assessed by examining the candidate’s
final results and academic transcripts. Performance will be
examined relative to the pool of candidates who have applied in
that particular year. Consequently, although there are no fixed
performance benchmarks, candidates will be required to have a very
strong Second-Class (Upper Division) degree at the minimum.
Leadership potential and financial need will be assessed by
examining the candidate’s Curriculum Vitae and from discussions
with the candidate’s referees.
