Military & Veterans Law CLE Scholarship Application

The North Carolina Bar Association Military & Veterans Law Section (NCBA-MVL) recognizes that, although the public perceives lawyers to be among the most affluent members of society, in fact many attorneys struggle to make ends meet, need to pay off large amounts of law school debt, or sometimes suffer from economic hardship due to the poor job market, disabilities, or other factors. The NCBA-MVL wants membership in, and services from, the NCBA-MVL to be available to attorneys regardless of their ability to pay. We understand that one of the greatest services available for members is the high quality continuing legal education by the NCBA. As a result, the NCBA-MVL has established a Scholarship program for CLE program tuition for the upcoming NCBA-MVL Live Webcast CLE on Thursday, May 16, 2024.

What do the Scholarships cover?
The Scholarships will pay the NCBA member registration fee for the program. A limited number of Scholarships are available. NCBA-MVL CLE Scholarships will not exceed 12 credit hours and must be used within the NCBA-MVL fiscal year awarded. Once approved for a NCBA-MVL CLE program Scholarship, you are required to attend the CLE program specified on your application unless the program has been canceled. If you are unable to attend that CLE program, your Scholarship will be forfeited. You will be required to submit a new application for a different program.

Who is eligible for the Scholarship?
Any member of the NCBA is eligible to apply for this CLE Scholarship.

How do I apply for the Scholarship?
Please fill out the form below. Scholarship applications must be received no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, May 3. If the application is not received by that time, it will not be considered. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. We will notify you at least 3 business days before the program whether you have been awarded a Scholarship.

What about confidentiality?
Although the NCBA-MVL may publicize the fact that Scholarships have been awarded, and the number of Scholarships so awarded, the individual identities of Scholarship applicants shall remain strictly confidential, unless the recipient allows for publication.
