The annual Public Service Scholarship is funded by the Earl W. Kintner Memorial Fund. Kintner was a distinguished member of the Federal Bar Association and two-time national president. His professional and civic leadership and dedication serve as a model to any aspiring academic. Applicants must submit:
- Online application
- Personal essay
- Unaltered academic transcript
- Copy of their letter of acceptance to the college or university for which they will attend
The criteria for applicant evaluation is based on academic achievement, leadership recognition, school and community service and activities, and compelling personal essay content and quality (both substance and written communication skills).
The deadline to submit the scholarship application and the required documentation is April 30 of each year. Incomplete applications will not be considered. If the student’s parent or guardian is not currently a member of the Federal Bar Association, a membership application must be completed online by the April 30 deadline. The scholarship recipient and nonrecipients will be notified no later than July 1. Contact foundation@fedbar.org with questions.
