Tulsa County Bar Foundation Law School Scholarship at New York Law School 2025

Law Students entering their first year of school are encouraged to apply for the TCBF Law School Scholarship. Part-time students entering their first year are also eligible.

The Tulsa County Bar Foundation is authorized to fund law school scholarships of up to $2,500 per individual per year. The scholarships are intended for the benefit of law students in or from Tulsa County who are accepted to an ABA-accredited law school. The scholarships are offered and administered without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, or disability.

While the scholarships are intended for the benefit of law students from Tulsa County, the Foundation recognizes that a student from Tulsa County may attend a law school outside Tulsa County and that students from other locations may attend law school in Tulsa County. The test for eligibility for consideration for a Foundation scholarship is, therefore, whether the student has “a significant connection” to Tulsa County in the judgment of the Foundation’s Scholarship Committee.

An award made to a first-year student may be renewed in each of the following years in law school. The total funding offered to any student shall not exceed three times the amount of their first scholarship, and the distribution of such financing shall be over a period not exceeding four years. Although each recipient will need to re-apply for the scholarship each year, the expectation is that the scholarship will be renewed each year if satisfactory academic performance has been achieved, the student is otherwise eligible, and funding is available.

In selecting scholarship recipients, the Foundation will consider the applicant’s connection with Tulsa County; financial need; academic record; extra-curricular record and record of leadership and initiative; commitment to the study and practice or teaching of law; character; and work and life experience. Financial information for the applicant’s household and parents is necessary to evaluate financial needs. Members of the Scholarship Committee of the Foundation will select recipients. The decisions of the Committee are final.
