Each year, the Barristers’ Association awards scholarships to students of color attending local area law schools. The scholarships are given to students who demonstrate leadership ability, academic achievement, and a commitment to community service and professional development. To reward and recognize students who will become future leaders in the profession, we announce the scholars at the Barristers’ Annual Awards and Scholarship Gala.

Application for the Barristers’ Annual Scholarship will be released in February 2020.

Brandi Jocelyn Brice was an active Barrister, Assistant District Attorney, Solicitor for the City of Philadelphia, Chair of the Board of Governors for the Philadelphia Bar Association, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Phoenix. Despite a long and courageous battle with cancer, Ms. Brice died from the disease on October 16, 2014. In honor of Ms. Brice, a Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a local law student of color who has overcome significant medical challenge(s) in pursuit of a legal education and career.  The recipient of this scholarship must be present to be honored at the Barristers’ Annual Awards and Scholarship Gala in May 2020. Students applying for the Brandi Brice Memorial Scholarship must meet the same criteria as applicants fro the Barristers’ Annual Scholarship.

Application for the Brandi Brice Memorial Scholarship will be released in February 2020.
