Solomon Scholars Program
The Solomon Scholars at Rutgers Law School in Camden are an elite cohort of academically talented, accomplished, and public service-oriented students who will become an outstanding group of alumni with the skills and training to positively impact their local communities, the country, and the world.
In 2020 an anonymous donor provided Rutgers Law School with a $3.5 million gift to assist in recruiting law students who have had distinguished academic careers, and who have demonstrated a commitment to public service, defined broadly. The gift launched the Solomon Scholars Program, named in honor of Dean Emeritus Rayman Solomon, who served as Dean of Rutgers Law School in Camden for 16 years.
Students selected as Solomon Scholars are eligible for financial aid at the Law School but also receive an annual $10,000 stipend that can be used for any purpose. The Scholars are also eligible for stipends to support summer work, mentors to help guide them through and after law school, and access to other special programming. This highly competitive program is only available to a limited number of carefully selected students each year.
Solomon Scholars Program Benefits
|
Solomon Scholars Consideration The selection process for Solomon Scholars begins after a student has been admitted to the Law School. In the spring of each year, the Solomon Scholars selection committee invites qualified admitted applicants to interview for a space in the Solomon Scholars Program. Only those applications who have applied and been admitted to Rutgers Law School by March will be considered for this program. Invited admitted applicants may interview in person at Rutgers Law School in Camden or virtually. Interviewers will consist of members of the faculty, Admissions Committee, and current Solomon Scholars. Students who decide to interview in person will be eligible for a travel stipend. |
