The Mercer County Bar Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation formed by the Mercer County Bar Association which provides funding for legal education to the public, programs, seminars, grants and scholarships. The Foundation also awards annual law school scholarships.
A scholarship is awarded each year to a resident of Mercer County to assist them in their academic pursuits at any accredited law school. All awards are distributed at the discretion of the Foundation.
The Mercer County Bar Foundation scholarship is given to the student who has ties to Mercer County, who demonstrates financial need and who is involved in community organizations. To view and/or download the application and guidelines, click here (PDF).
Please include with your application all college transcripts, a current resume, proof of residence (i.e driver’s license, utility bill, etc.) and a personal statement directed to the selection committee (letter should not exceed one double-spaced typewritten page).
The deadline for submission of all materials is 10/18/2024. If you have any questions, please call the Mercer County Bar Foundation.
Funds for the scholarship are generated by the Mercer County Bar Foundation Wine and Dine.
