AALAM/Dow Fund Scholarship Award
Since 1997, AALAM has awarded the annual AALAM/Dow Fund Scholarship Award to an accomplished law student member of AALAM who demonstrates leadership potential, maturity and responsibility, a commitment to making a contribution to the Asian American community and other indicia of excellence, whether personal, professional, or academic. Priority consideration is given to law students who have secured a public interest position for the summer. In 2023, the scholarship amount tripled to $15,000.This year, the AALAM/Dow Fund Scholarship Award recipient will be announced at the annual AALAM Banquet taking place on June 12, 2025 and then invited to speak at the Annual Dow Dinner on December 5, 2025. Please check back soon for updated instructions on how to apply next year.
Professional Development and Networking Opportunities
AALAM organizes numerous events that offer professional development and networking opportunities to law students, among others. These events include our annual Speed Mentoring Nights, annual Summer Associates Luncheon, and regular Happy Hour networking events. We also invite students to volunteer to help with various AALAM events and initiatives, which provides a more casual and informal way to get to know AALAM's professional members.
