Top Law Schools

Dear <Objection>:

Of all the merit scholarships awarded by the University of Michigan Law School, the Darrow is the apogee. The award of a Darrow Scholarship reflects not merely the recipient's outstanding scholastic achievements, because those abound in our student body, but our sense that the recipient will one day go on to a remarkable career. Darrows vary in amount, but can be as large as full tuition for three years at the Law School, plus a stipend.

Our comprehensive review of your application materials has led us to conclude that you are a fine candidate for a Darrow. If you would like to be considered, please compose an essay on the following: In 500 words or less, please tell us why you are interested in a law school education. When you imagine the educational environment that is most likely to help you to fulfill your ambitions, what do you see?

Please return the essay by mail, fax or email to:

If possible, we would like to receive your materials by Tuesday, December 23. We recognize, however, that this is often a particularly challenging time of the year for our applicants to prepare additional materials; if, therefore, you need an extension, you shouldn't hesitate to ask—I'll be happy to allow you some additional time.

Once I receive it, I will forward your essay, along with the materials you submitted with your Law School application, to the Darrow Faculty Committee for consideration. You can expect to learn a decision within two weeks of the submission deadline. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Again, I congratulate you on your outstanding accomplishments. We would be proud to have you join us in Ann Arbor as part of the entering class of 2009.
