The program is funded by the Foundation of the Association of Legal Administrators and managed by the Foundation Board of Trustees.

And since winning the scholarship in 2020, ALA member Monique Mahler succeeded in earning her master’s degree and becoming a Certified Legal Manager (CLM)®. Hear her thoughts on the scholarship on the Legal Management Talk podcast.
Applicants must:
