SCHOLARSHIP DESCRIPTION:
Pace Law School is pleased to partner with the Environmental Consortium of Hudson Valley Colleges & Universities to announce a scholarship for incoming first year students. Pace University, through the Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies, was instrumental in organizing the Environmental Consortium that now includes 51 institutions of higher education in the Hudson Valley region. The mission of the Consortium is to harness higher education’s intellectual and physical resources to advance regional, ecosystem-based environmental research, teaching, and learning through interdisciplinary, collaborative programs and information sharing.
Pace Law School supports the mission of the Consortium and will offer a “Pace Law School Environmental Consortium Merit Scholarship” award to a fall 2010 entering student who is either currently enrolled in or has earned his or her bachelors or masters degree from one of the member institutions and has demonstrated an interest in environmental issues affecting the Hudson Valley.
Scholarship benefits consist of a merit scholarship ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 towards law school tuition, depending upon the student’s qualifications and Pace’s financial resources. The award is renewable each year based on continued academic excellence. The scholarship recipient will be expected to complete at least one written work related to environmental issues while at Pace Law School.
Selection is based on the student’s application and academic record. Interested students should include in his or her personal statement a discussion of how he or she has been involved in Hudson Valley environmental issues during their undergraduate work or why they have a particular interest in Hudson Valley environmental issues.
