SAIL Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by National Asian Pacific American Bar Association
The SAIL Scholarship Program provides private mentorship, executive-level networking opportunities, and financial support for educational expenses for award recipients.

Applicants will be evaluated for (a) academic excellence in their undergraduate school years and first year of law school, (b) leadership experience, (c) volunteerism or service in the public interest, (d) knowledge of social and cultural issues of any one or more AAPI communities or commitment to making a significant impact on issues affecting one or more AAPI communities, or both, and (e) commitment to “pay it forward.” The NAPABA Law Foundation will award from the SAIL Scholarship Fund at least one $7,500 scholarship each year, half of which would be distributed to the recipient in his or her second year of law school and the remainder of which would be distributed to the recipient in his or her third year of law school.
The SAIL Scholarship is made possible due to the generosity of Sharon and Ivan Fong.
