Scholarship Funding

The Yukon Law Foundation manages a fund for scholarships that is made available for law or law-related studies. Disbursement of scholarships will be dependent on the applications received.

The criteria are as follows:

  • Academic achievement,
  • Residency,
  • Community involvement, and
  • Financial need.

For more information on the Yukon Law Foundation, please refer to Part 7 of the Legal Profession Act.

All scholarship recipients will be required to sign a Return and Repayment Agreement (Letter of Understanding). This agreement requires students who do not return to the Yukon to work for at least a two-year period to repay the scholarship money provided to them.

The deadline for grant proposals is 3:00 p.m. on the closing date. Please keep this in mind when sending your applications through the mail. An electronic copy is preferred. Please e-mail execdir@yukonlawfoundation.com
