Raising the Bar Fund
The University of Toledo College of Law and the University of Toledo Foundation offer the "Raising the Bar" stipend to College of Law students in their final semester who plan on sitting for the state bar exam in the first testing round after graduation. This stipend is offered to help offset basic living expenses such as housing, food, utilities and transportation during the 10-week period before taking the bar exam.
Students in their final semester can submit an application form and video testimonial for consideration. Winning applications acknowledge and allow their video testimonial to be used for University of Toledo Foundation communications. Application winners will receive a stipend of $5000 to help cover basic living expenses during the time between graduation and sitting for the bar exam.
Who is Eligible?
- Law students who are in their final semester and in good academic standing.
- Law students who are committed to sitting for the state bar exam in the first testing cycle following graduation.
- Law students who have demonstrated financial need.
- Law students who have already registered for the bar exam (preferred).
- Law students who are experiencing financial pressures that may require them to work prior to the bar exam.
A committee formed by The University of Toledo Foundation will select stipend awardees based on the strength of video submissions. Any video submission not chosen for a stipend will be returned to the student and will not be available for use by The University of Toledo.
Application Deadline: Friday, March 20 at 5 p.m.
