Overview

The Advancement of Animal Law Scholarships are awarded by the Animal Legal Defense Fund to law students who demonstrate a strong commitment to protecting animals through the legal system. The program aims to support students who are active in their university's Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) student chapters.

Coverage

Three first-place recipients will receive $5,000 each. A variable number of second-place recipients will receive $2,500 each. Scholarships are for one year, though recipients are encouraged to serve as a student chapter advisor for up to two years post-graduation.

Eligibility

Open to current 1L and 2L law students, or 3L students enrolled in a four-year program. Preference is given to members of active Animal Legal Defense Fund Student Chapters.

Requirements

Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to animal law and active involvement in their student chapter. Required documents include a completed application form with answers to specific questions, two references (excluding ALDF staff), the most recent unofficial academic transcript, and a resume.

How to apply

Submit all required documents as a single PDF via email to Priscilla Rader Culp at [email protected] with the subject line “Advancement of Animal Law Scholarship 2025” by the deadline.

Notes

Scholarships are not available to students graduating in the current semester. Recipients are encouraged to maintain engagement with their student chapters after graduation.
