The scholarship includes yearly financial aid to cover tuition, books and a living allowance for up to four years, the opportunity of paid work experience during the summer and a personal mentor. There is also the chance to secure a training contract with Mourant post-studies.
Eligible candidates must be Caymanian students who are qualified and accepted into an accredited institution to pursue a career in law.
