Working Now and Then will award an undergraduate scholarship for the first time in December 2019. The Working Now and Then Undergraduate Scholarship will grant $1,000 to an undergraduate considering a career in employment law.
In 2019, Working Now and Then awarded its first scholarship, the Employment Law Scholarship. The scholarship supports law students planning to work as plaintiffs’ employment lawyers.
Working Now and Then published Begley’s essay, along with several honorable mentions, as part of its Law Students on Workers’ Rights series. After the success of the Employment Law Scholarship, Working Now and Then expanded its scholarship opportunities.
The undergraduate scholarship accepts applications from students currently attending or accepted to an accredited college or university. Applicants provide a resume, unofficial transcripts, and a 750-word essay on the biggest challenges facing workers’ rights in the future.
The scholarship committee will evaluate applicants based on their academic record, future career promise, and the persuasiveness of the essay. As with the Employment Law Scholarship, the winning essay and honorable mentions will be published on the Working Now and Then site.
The application form will be available on the Working Now and Then site until December 1, 2019. The winner will be notified by December 15, 2019.
