Princeton will nominate two or more students or alumni who meet IU’s admission criteria for admission into the Maurer School of Law.
“Princeton is one of the most vibrant and academically distinguished universities in the country,” Maurer Dean Austen Parrish said . “It’s been particularly innovative in providing a career and life vision for its graduates. We are honored to be partnering with this outstanding school to provide a pathway to a legal education in the Midwest.”
The nominators will also examine an applicant’s academic record, letters of recommendation, experience and desire to study at the law school.
The Princeton Law Scholars program will also offer at least two graduates admitted to the Maurer School of Law scholarships in the amount of about 50 percent of yearly tuition as well as access to a formal mentoring program.
The scholarship will shrink tuition costs for recipients over three years from $75,000 to $45,000, according to the University. The exact amount is dependent on a student’s residency and other contributing factors.
This is the fifth scholarship and mentoring program the law school has established this year, according to the University.
“I’m delighted that the Maurer School of Law has a new relationship with my alma mater,” said Robert Fischman, IU professor of law and Princeton alumnus. “I look forward to getting to know current Princeton students interested in our ?program.”
