APPLY TODAY: Applications for the Jay G. Cohen Memorial Student Opportunities Endowed Scholarship are due by Friday, April 1, 2022 by 1 PM.
The Jay G.
Cohen Memorial Student Opportunities Endowed Scholarship Fund is a
memorial scholarship that honors the memory of Jay G. Cohen, a prominent
Baltimore attorney and proud Terp husband and father. This fund was
established to reduce the barriers to law school admission for UMD
undergraduate students who have both financial need and demonstrated
success at the University of Maryland, and who have a strong interest in
pursuing a career as an attorney. In particular, this fund will provide
students with resources to pay for part (or all) of an LSAT preparation
course, and/or for additional expenses incidental to the law school
admissions process (e.g. application fees, transportation for visits,
etc.).
All full-time UMD undergraduate students are eligible to apply, although preference is given to students in their junior year. For complete award criteria, instructions, and an online application, please visit go.umd.edu/cohenscholar. Applications must be submitted by 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 1, 2022.
Questions regarding this scholarship or the application process should be directed to bsos-scholarships@umd.edu and Greg J. Shaffer, Esq., Associate Director, Pre-Law Advising, gshaffer@umd.edu.
