Three opportunities are available to Seattle University law students who have a strong, demonstrated interest in the field of intellectual property law:
Seed IP Law Group Founders Scholarship - recipients will be honored at Seed IP’s spring networking reception on April 10 (RSVP for the reception by April 3)
WSBA IP Section Scholarship - recipients will be honored at the WSBA IP Section’s IP Institute on April 24
Westin Scholar/IAPP Award - recipients will be announced in late June or early July
You can apply for all three scholarships with one application. Applications are due by Noon on March 14.
The Seed and WSBA scholarships seek to recognize students who have a demonstrable interest in the practice of intellectual property law (whether litigation or transactional work) in the areas of patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret protection, arts and entertainment, advertising law, and/or the intellectual property aspects of business. The Westin Scholarship seeks to recognize future leaders in the field of privacy or data protection. More information on the Westin Scholar Award can be found on the IAPP Higher Education page.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria for All Three Awards
To be eligible to apply for any of these scholarships, you must be currently enrolled
as a law student at Seattle University School of Law. The
successful student will be selected based on their overall academic record,
performance in course work related to intellectual property, and
extracurricular activities, particularly those that relate
to IP (such as the Intellectual Property Law Society). Preference
will be given to upper-level JD students.
Application Instructions
All applications must include: (1) a cover letter explaining the applicant’s qualifications and merit (if applying to all three scholarships, please submit three cover letters), (2) the applicant’s resume, and (3) a copy of the applicant’s law school transcript that includes all grades through the Fall 2024 semester. Completed application materials should be emailed to Erin Fullner, Associate Dean for Student Development no later than noon on Friday, March 14.
