BAYANIHAN STIPEND

Bayanihan means “being in a bayan” and it refers to a fundamental aspect of Filipino culture: working together as a community to achieve a common goal.

The Bayanihan Stipend Program offers need-based stipends of up to $250 each. Stipends will be available to students currently attending a law school in Northern California or graduates preparing for the bar exam who face significant economic hardship and immediate monetary need that, if not met, could result in an inability to complete classes, a degree program, a bar preparation course, or the bar exam.  To be eligible for a stipend, an applicant must be an FBANC member or member of an affiliate organization at their law school (e.g., PALS).
