Outline
The Piper Alderman Indigenous Law Student Scholarship was established to assist an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student enrolled in their third or fourth year of an undergraduate Law dual degree program at UNSW.
At the end of one year, the recipient student will be invited to undertake a six week rotating, paid clerkship with the Donor firm.
