Outside scholarships

[taf889]

Does anyone have any advice or resources for scholarships granted independently of the LS you're attending? I imagine i'm not getting any merit aid at my law school, so am wondering how to go about procuring the moneys?

You can search sites like Fastweb, but the best thing to do is to ask for recommendations from your school. There are a lot of smaller scholarships that have really specific criteria that don't necessarily look at numbers, writing competitions, etc. Your school should have a list of those, and hardly anyone actually applies for them so they will be thrilled to pass along the information.
