How we support students pursuing careers in law
In 1985 an endowment fund was started to offer a scholarship to Island students attending the Dalhousie Schulich School of Law. In 1992 an endowment fund was started to offer both an entrance and an upper year scholarship to Island students attending law school at the University of New Brunswick. Beginning in 2008, the Law Foundation partnered with the Law Society of PEI to establish an annual scholarship award for students from PEI engaged in the study of law at an accredited university.
Since 2008, the Law Foundation has also offered scholarships for those graduating from legal administration programs on PEI. Unfortunately, the legal administration program on PEI was discontinued in 2025.
