The Spokane County Bar Association (SCBA) Indian Law Section (ILS) has organized and held an all-day Indian law conference in Spokane, Washington. The SCBA ILS leadership has voted to use proceeds from these conferences to fund a bar preparation scholarship for individuals who recently have or are planning to take a state bar exam in the near future, and who have demonstrated a commitment to furthering the goals of the SCBA ILS. Scholarship recipients will be selected based on several criteria, including but not limited to demonstrated interest in and dedication to goals consistent with those of the SCBA ILS noted above; commitment to working in Indian law in the Northwestern United States; financial need; academic achievement; extracurricular and community activities; life experiences; and Native American, Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian, or Canadian First Nation citizenship or heritage. The value and number of scholarships will be determined by the SCBA ILS and may vary in amount bases upon applications received and available funds.
