Law Students play an important role in FBANC, and FBANC welcomes law students’ participation and ideas. FBANC supports law students in a number of ways including its annual scholarships and mentor-mentee program.

Scholarships:
Each year, FBANC presents scholarships to qualified law students who have shown a committment to issues involving the Filipino-American community.

Current law students in good academic standing and those admitted to law school for the academic year are eligible to apply for the FBANC Legal Scholarships. FBANC historically has granted two scholarships, the FBANC Scholarship and the Raymond L. Ocampo Jr. Scholarship. Last year, each scholarship was awarded in the amount of $2,500.

Group-Based Mentorship Program:
This program is intended to give students and attorneys an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas about the legal profession.

Participating students and attorneys complete a short questionnaire so that FBANC can match mentors and mentees according to practice areas of interest. The matched students and attorneys will then have an opportunity to meet at a casual event hosted by FBANC.

If you would like to participate as a student or attorney, please email David Mesa.
