LATLC Scholarships Grant

The LATLC Scholarships, established by the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers' Charities, aim to support local high school seniors in their pursuit of higher education. Each year, at least ten scholarships of $2,500 will be awarded to deserving students who demonstrate academic achievement and resilience in overcoming hardships. Public high schools in the Los Angeles area can nominate top candidates, fostering future leaders within the community and addressing critical issues related to education and support for youth.

Note: Each school may submit no more than five (5) applications.
In 2015, Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities implemented our annual scholarship program to help local high school seniors attend college and become future leaders of tomorrow. In our inaugural class, we gave away $40,000 in college scholarships to 16 deserving high school seniors. Since then, LATLC has provided grants to at least 10 deserving students annually.
Introduction
The Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, will award at least ten (10) college scholarships in the amount of $2,500 each to deserving high school seniors who will enroll in college that same year. LATLC’s mission is to make a positive difference in the quality of life for people within the greater Los Angeles area, focusing on issues related to education, children, survivors of abuse, persons with disabilities, and homelessness.
Application Process
All applications will be submitted online. Public high schools within the Los Angeles area have the opportunity to submit five (5) top senior candidates from each school for this program. Students are selected in an application process and with the recommendations of Los Angeles County area high school counselors based upon merits and need. We ask that each school submit five (5) applications only. Students interested in applying should contact their high school counselor to receive the link to the online application.
Nominating Process
Our program’s primary qualification is academic achievement and hardship. While academic achievement is the first standard, what truly separates the finalists from the other applicants is excellence outside the classroom and/or overcoming a hardship, socially and/or familial.
Details of the scholarship program should be disseminated widely to all senior class members.Students are not disqualified on the grounds that they have applied for or received other scholarship(s).The desire to practice law is not a criterion for these scholarships.
