Scholarships for URMs

Post by Raramuri415 » Mon Mar 21, 2011 1:20 am

Does anyone know of some good scholarships for URMs? Most of what I have found give out pretty small awards, although there are a couple that give $10-$15k. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

You have any more local ones for the NY area? (Rather than Cali) B/c I am Cuban so I only qualify for one of the hispanic scholarships. Ideally, I would like to apply to more than one.

This is also a good resource, although most of the minority ones are from big firms that require you to participate in their summer associate program.
