ARKANSAS BAR FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS

The Arkansas Bar Foundation annually makes available a number of law scholarships. The criteria vary, but financial need, scholarship, and probability of success in law study are the most important factors. The Foundation's scholarships, in turn, are identified by the names of the individuals and firms in whose honor the scholarships were created. For 1995-96, the following Foundation scholarships are offered:
