Quote Of The Week
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination sys-tem seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disap-pear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.“
-E. M. Forster (1879-1970)

High Tech Moot Court Info, 04/26! SCHOLARSHIP RENEWALS AND APPLICATIONS
2005-2006
Applications to renew your Law Faculty, Emery or Public Interest Scholarships for the 2005-2006 academic year are now available. They can be picked up from Associate Dean Mary Emery’s Office, Heafey 156. The application deadline is May 20, 2005. You must turn in the applica-tion itself as well as the cover sheet (signed). Current scholarship holders must reapply. Scholarships will not be renewed without an application. Emery schol-arships may be renewed if the academic conditions in the original award letter are met and funds are available. New Emery scholarships may be awarded to students who place in the top 10% of their class and who apply for the scholarship. Law Faculty scholarships will be re-newed if a student continues to demonstrate financial need and satisfactory academic progress. Students who do not currently have a Law Faculty scholarship may ap-ply; however, new awards are limited by the availability of funds.
Please contact Patti Hallead at [email protected] or at (408) 554-4451 if you have any questions.
