Diversity Scholarship Opportunities

Diversity Scholarship Opportunities

The Haynes Boone Diversity Scholarships have been established to attract outstanding students to the private practice of law while helping these students be successful in law school through both work and mentorship experiences. Our Diversity Scholarships are offered along with the Traditional nine- to ten-week paid summer clerkship with Haynes Boone and are paid during the school year. For 1L students, there is an opportunity to receive up to $25,000 in scholarship funds to assist with school related expenses. Haynes Boone is committed to recruiting, retaining, and advancing young lawyers and our scholarships are one of the many initiatives we have implemented to contribute toward enhancing our firm and profession.  Students interested in applying for a scholarship are required to submit a diversity statement along with their application materials.

Candidate Evaluation and Recruitment Process

Haynes Boone uses the Suited Assessment as part of our candidate evaluation and recruitment process to expand our consideration of candidates beyond traditional hiring metrics. Information on what is measured by the assessment, Suited’s data retention policies, and how to request a reasonable accommodation may be found here ¹. Completing the Suited assessment is a mandatory part of our recruiting process; however, should you believe that even with appropriate reasonable accommodations enabled you require an alternative selection procedure, please email the Managers of Entry-Level Recruiting, Amy Hill or Jennifer Lindsley.
