Jay G. Cohen Memorial Student Opportunities Endowed Scholarship Fund
The Jay G. CohenMemorial Student Opportunities Endowed Scholarship Fund is a memorial scholarship that honors the memory of Jay G. Cohen, a prominent Baltimore attorney and proud Terp husband and father. This fund was established to reduce the barriers to law school admission for UMD undergraduate students who have both financial need and demonstrated success at the University of Maryland, who have a strong interest in pursuing a career as an attorney. In particular, this fund will provide students with resources to pay for part (or all) of an LSAT preparation course, and/or for additional expenses incidental to the law school admissions process.
All full-time UMD undergraduate students are eligible to apply, although preference is given to students in their junior year. For complete award criteria, instructions, and an online application, please visit go.umd.edu/cohen2020. Applications must be submitted by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, March 23, 2020. Selection(s) will be announced by Wednesday, April 1, 2020.
Questions regarding this scholarship or the application process should be directed to bsos-scholarships@umd.edu and Greg J. Shaffer, Esq., Associate Director, Pre-Law Advising, gshaffer@umd.edu.
