Summary: Princeton will select at least two students per year for admission to Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law. The lucky students will receive a significant scholarship and entry to a mentorship program at the law school.
A scholarship and mentoring program has been announced in a memorandum of understanding between Princeton University and the Indiana University Maurer School of Law. The program was announced on Thursday by the IU Bloomington Newsroom. Every year, the Princeton Law Schools program will select at least two graduates who have been admitted to the Maurer School of Law to receive scholarships. The scholarships will be valued at half of Maurer School of Law’s annual tuition, and will provide access to a formal mentoring program. The scholarship may reduce a student’s law school expenses by up to $75,000.
Austen L. Parris, dean and James H. Rudy professor of law at Maurer School of Law, stated, “Princeton is one of the most vibrant and academically distinguished universities in the country. It’s been particularly innovative in providing a career and life vision for its graduates. We are honored to be partnering with this outstanding school to provide a pathway to legal education in the Midwest.”
The students chosen by Princeton for admission to Maurer School of Law must meet the law school’s admission requirements. The students’ potential for future success will also be evaluated, such as academic performance, letters of recommendation, a desire to study at Maurer School of Law, and past professional experience. The first students selected for scholarships will be admitted to Maurer School of Law’s 2015 entering class.
Princeton is the fourth-oldest college in the United States. It is ranked first in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. This is the fifth scholarship and mentoring program entered into by the Maurer School of Law. The Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana all have similar agreements with the law school.
