AALAM/Dow Fund Scholarship
Click here for more information on the 27th Annual AALAM and Dow Fund Scholarship Award!
Since 1997, AALAM has awarded the annual AALAM/Dow Fund Scholarship Award to an Asian American law student 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.
Past recipients of the Scholarship include Glenn Magpantay, then a student at New England School of Law and currently Executive Director of the National Queer Asian Pacific Island Alliance, and Michelle Wu, then a student at Harvard Law School and current Mayor of the City of Boston.
This year, the AALAM/Down Fund Scholarship Award recipient will be announced at the annual AALAM Banquet taking place in October 2024 and then invited to speak at the Annual Dow Dinner in December 2024. Please check back soon for updated instructions on how to apply.
If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the AALAM/Dow Fund Scholarship Award, you may do so through the Dow Fund at www.dowfund.org/donate. The Dow Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established as an affiliate of AALAM in 1985 for the purposes of providing resources to ensure access to the legal system for Asian Americans who are deprived of justice because of barriers such as language, race, culture, poverty, or immigration status. The Dow Fund was founded in honor of Harry H. Dow, the first Asian American admitted to practice law in Massachusetts.
