Top Law Schools

Hi all,

I worked for a law firm last summer and received a diversity scholarship from them.

The scholarship was for XXXXX amount, but the amount I received was about 50-65% of that.
Anyone else have experience with receiving a scholarship from a law firm after working there (to return)?

Cheers

That sounds about right.

As a general matter, payments received in exchange for labor are taxable, even if they are notionally payments for school. This is different from a scholarship granted gratuitously from a school or charitable enterprise.

Keep in mind that when amounts are withheld, such withholding will not necessarily equal your actual tax liability.
