Blank Rome Pipeline Scholars Program
“One the best experiences I had as a participant in Blank Rome’s 2021 Pipeline Scholars Program was learning more about trial work and seeing how quickly things change in litigation firsthand.”
- Asia Livingstone, 2021 and 2022 Blank Rome Pipeline Scholar
The Blank Rome Pipeline Scholars Program (“Blank Rome Scholars” or “BR Scholars” Program) is designed to identify and recruit high-performing individuals who have overcome challenges in life that distinguish them from their peers and who, through their life experiences, have demonstrated the character to have a successful career in law. Our goal is to identify and attract talented summer associate candidates from diverse backgrounds to join our firm upon completion of law school.
What sets us apart?
- Client engagement opportunities
- Coaching and mentoring
- Pro bono projects
- Exclusive programming
Pipeline scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, demonstrated leadership, community service, work experience, and commitment to the practice of law. Each Blank Rome Scholar is awarded a full-salaried position in the firm’s Summer Associate Program and a $25,000 scholarship, which will be paid in two installments: 1) $12,500 for the Scholar’s second-year tuition and expenses, provided the student receives and accepts an offer to join the Summer Program on a full-time basis for the summer following the 2L year; and 2) another $12,500 toward the Scholar’s third-year tuition and expenses, provided the student receives and accepts an offer to return to Blank Rome as a full-time associate after graduation.
During the Summer Associate Program, each Scholar will be teamed up with a Blank Rome partner and an associate, who serve as mentors for the duration of the program and beyond.
