Apply for the Fernandez Law Scholarship Fund

The Fernandez Law Fund is an annual $1,000 scholarship awarded to a Hispanic student to be used toward tuition, room and board, or other educational expenses.

Gonzalo Fernandez, personal injury attorney and partner at Fernandez Law, founded the scholarship to continue advocating for the Hispanic community. As a young child, he moved to the United States from Mendoza, Argentina to St. Louis – his current hometown – and continues to dedicate his practice to civil plaintiff’s personal injury litigation and serving the legal needs of the growing Hispanic population.

Gonzalo understands the financial barriers that can arise while receiving an education and wants to do his part to support the next generation of attorneys.

Requirements:

  • 2.75 GPA
  • Immigrant or first-generation Hispanic student
  • Currently enrolled on a pre-law track or in law school at an accredited university

Please submit the completed scholarship application and a 2-minute video OR a 500 word essay answering the following question:
