Shades of Mass Conference Scholarship

NPLA is excited to announce a new scholarship opportunity for law students looking to attend the Fourth Annual Shades of Mass Conference (the premier conference supporting attorneys of color in MDL leadership) in Los Angeles, California, from September 4-6, 2025!

The NPLA Scholarship will cover registration fees, flights, hotels, and Ubers/Lyfts to and from the airport!

Scholarship Application Requirements:

  • NPLA Student Membership (it’s free to sign up!)

  • Two short essays (300 words or less, each)

  • An applicant must be able to attend at least two days of the programming.

NPLA's Board will be evaluating applications, and we're looking for students who are enthusiastic about the mission of Shades of Mass (which focuses on mass torts and class actions in federal court) and are actively looking to pursue a career in plaintiffs' law (or are really interested in learning more about plaintiffs' law).

Applications are due Monday, August 18, at 11:59 PM PST.
