Our Commitment to a Diverse Profession

Baird Holm established two $5,000 scholarships which are awarded annually to students at the University of Nebraska College of Law and Creighton University College of Law. The purpose of each of these scholarships is to encourage and enable first-year law students from diverse backgrounds to attend law schools in Nebraska. Baird Holm also provides for one student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha to prepare and take the LSAT exam. These scholarships target admitted students who have financial need and who are from educationally and culturally disadvantaged backgrounds.
