AccessLex, who we partner with for the MAX program (which provides education and support regarding financial matters, including managing student debt) has created a databank that includes nearly 800 scholarship opportunities and writing competitions. The databank includes scholarships for incoming and returning law students, as well as a few that will help with bar study costs. You can search the databank through this link: AccessLex.org/databank.
