DEADLINE TODAY: Diverse Outside Scholarship Opportunity from Napier-Looby Bar Association in Middle Tennessee
The Napier-Looby Bar Association (NLBA) has opened applications for The Senator Avon N. Williams, Jr. and Hon. Robert Lillard Law School Scholarship. This scholarship was established by the Napier-Looby Bar Foundation (NLBF). The NLBF, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded by the membership of the Napier-Looby Bar Association (NLBA) in 2001 to raise funds for scholarships and charitable donations to benefit worthy organizations and persons of need in the African-American and minority communities in Middle Tennessee. The Foundation names these scholarships after the late Senator Avon N. Williams, Jr., a distinguished legislator, attorney, and member of the NLBA and the late Hon. Robert Lillard, a distinguished advocate, jurist, and member of the NLBA.
The amount of the scholarship is not less than $1,000. The application is due on or before November 26, 2018. Applicants should be endorsed by a member in good standing of the NLBA. Applicants do not have to be a resident of Middle TN to apply. Also, candidates who do not know anyone in the NLBA but need a reference can contact Mrs. Angela Williams at adwilliadwilliams901@gmail.com or 901.568.9584. You will need to include a copy of your resume with the request.
Recipients will be announced on or before January 11, 2019 and honored at the NLBF’s Barrister’s Banquet and Awards Program in February 2019.
