The CBL Scholars Program is a merit award created to develop a new generation of future leaders in business law. The Program provides financial assistance and hands-on academic and professional mentorship to students entering the business law community from disadvantaged educational, economic, social, or physical backgrounds– including, but not limited to, those students enrolled in UC Law SF’s Legal Education Opportunity Program.

To capitalize on the San Francisco Bay Area’s prominence in the technology and venture capital ecosystems, the CBL Scholars Program is initially tailored to students with a demonstrable interest in this space. CBL Scholars have unique internship opportunities and direct access to the extensive network that UC Law SF has among senior legal leaders across these industries.

To realize the promise of the CBL Scholars Program, we need your support!
