DATE: February 26, 2015

In support of its members, the National Conference of Bar Foundations is offering two scholarships to assist bar foundation executives or officers who would otherwise be unable financially to attend the 2015 Annual Meeting.

The scholarship recipients will have all registration fees waived and will receive a stipend up to $500 to defray travel expenses. The scholarship must be used for the Annual Meeting in Chicago and may not be applied to future NCBF meetings.

The NCBF Scholarship Committee will review scholarship applications received by April 30, 2015. The scholarship award recipients will be notified no later than May 5, 2015.

In order to qualify, you must be a NCBF member and your bar foundation must be financially unable to cover the cost of sending you to the Annual Meeting.

Please contact Roseanne Lucianek at 312-988-5344,
