The Kay Young Scholarship is designed to help highly accomplished law students attend the annual Lavender Law Conference and Career Fair, organized by the National LGBT Bar Association. The scholarship is named in honor of the late Kay Young, a Stonewall Bar board member and accomplished attorney who passed away in 2007.
Lavender Law provides attendees with a fantastic exposure to LGBTQ legal issues and gives students the opportunity to meet with more than 170 recruiters from law firms, government agencies, and non-profit organizations across the nation. Lavender Law takes place this year VIRTUALLY from August 12 - 14, 2020. Law students are encouraged to join the LGBT Bar Association which comes with FREE REGISTRATION to Lavender Law.
