Baylor Law is pleased to offer the prestigious Leon Jaworski Scholarship for Outstanding Undergraduate Advocates to incoming law students who have outstanding records in advocacy programs such as debate or mock trial. This scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship and is renewable for the second and third years of law school if the recipient continuously maintains a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 and participates in Baylor Law’s award-winning interscholastic advocacy program.
A 1926 graduate of Baylor Law, Leon Jaworski perhaps will be most remembered for his roles as Special Prosecutor during the Watergate crisis and as a founding partner of the international law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski LLP. The path chosen by Leon Jaworski took him to a place in American jurisprudence where his legal accomplishments will not be forgotten and will be remembered by Baylor Law.
The recipient will be chosen by January 24, 2025, regardless of the entering quarter. The deadline is January 4, 2025. This scholarship requires a separate application. Click here to apply.
These full-tuition scholarships are limited to graduates of Texas A&M University and Abilene Christian University, and they are renewable for students who do not breach academic probation.
If a student has a cumulative GPA of 3.60 or above after receiving all grades from the first three quarters of law school, the student is eligible for up to an $8,000/quarter scholarship (assuming that the student is not already receiving that amount) and will receive that amount in each subsequent quarter, up to his/her ninth quarter of law school, provided that the student continues to earn a cumulative 3.60 GPA.
If the student is in a consecutive fourth quarter and earns a cumulative 3.60 GPA after receiving all grades from the first three quarters of law school, the student will receive up to $16,000 in his or her fifth quarter only and up to $8,000 in every eligible quarter after that.
Baylor Law awards this scholarship as long as the law student does not already have a scholarship larger than $8,000/quarter and the law student abides by the Donor Appreciation Protocol.
