Each year, Nexsen Pruet awards scholarships to exceptional minority law school students who are planning legal careers in the Carolinas. In addition to the $3,000 award, the students may be considered for summer employment in one of the firm’s eight offices.

“Our commitment to diversity has far-reaching benefits in the communities where we work and live,” said John Sowards, chairman of the board of Nexsen Pruet.  “But, we understand that a scholarship program alone can not fix all of the socioeconomic disparities that persist in our country.”

Students who attend North Carolina Central University School of Law, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law, Wake Forest University School of Law, the University of South Carolina School of Law, and Charleston Law School are eligible to apply for the yearly scholarships.
