Plunkett Cooney to issue $2,500 diversity scholarships to law school students

BLOOMFIELD HILLS – Plunkett Cooney will select three diverse law school students who participate in its Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) essay program to receive $2,500 diversity scholarships.

The program is open to all diverse students currently enrolled in an accredited law school. For purposes of the scholarship program, “diverse students” include, but are not limited to, applicants based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity, LGBTQIA+ identity, disability and neuro-divergence. 

Participants have until June 23 to submit essays, which must address the following prompt:

Share an experience you have had, challenge you have overcome, triumph you have enjoyed, or aspect of your background that has influenced your pursuit of a career in law. How has that experience impacted your approach to advancing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion as you enter the legal profession?

The firm created a website to assist students with their essay and personal information submissions: https://plunkettcooney.isolvedhire.com/apply/0-0.php
