When There Are Nine Scholarship Project

Application Open: April 1, 2025

Inspired by a commitment to honor the legacy of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the When There Are Nine Scholarship Project (“WTA9 Scholarship”) was founded in 2020 in partnership with the Federal Bar Foundation (the “Foundation”) by a group of women who served together as Assistant United States Attorneys in the Southern District of New York. The scholarship seeks to advance equity and diversity within the legal profession by expanding career opportunities for women attorneys and supporting those attorneys in their legal educations and careers.

Justice Ginsburg was a trailblazer and pioneering advocate for women’s rights. A Brooklyn native, she graduated first in her class from Columbia Law School while raising her young daughter and supporting her husband through his cancer treatment. Justice Ginsburg repeatedly overcame the gender discrimination she would later spend the better part of her career seeking to eradicate in the courts, and her advocacy and the cases that she won opened doors for so many women. The founding members of the Project, all of whom had the privilege of serving in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, benefitted greatly from Justice Ginsburg’s efforts and, upon her passing, established the Project to honor her legacy by encouraging future generations of women to pursue rewarding careers in the law and making those career choices financially accessible.

The WTA9 Scholarship is administered by the Federal Bar Foundation (“Foundation”), a New York 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that supports the activities of the Federal Bar Council (“FBC”). The FBC is an association of lawyers who practice in federal courts within the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, to which Justice Ginsburg was assigned.

Eligibility
The 2025-2026 WTA9 Scholarship is open to all women, including students who consistently live and self- identify as women, regardless of their gender assignment at birth. Additionally, applicants must:

• Intend to enroll or currently be enrolled in an ABA-accredited J.D. program with a graduation date of 2026-2029;
• Have financial need;
• Have a strong record of academic achievement; and
• Demonstrate some ties to New York City, such as family ties, law school, or an intent to practice in or around New York City after graduation.

The Selection Committee values all types of diversity, and welcomes candidates from all backgrounds and life experiences. Although not required, the Selection Committee encourages applicants with a demonstrated interest in public service, or who are otherwise committed to giving back to the community.

While applicants need not have been admitted to law school at the time of their application, finalists will be required to inform the Selection Committee as to the law school they have committed to attend. All Finalists will also be required to provide a letter from their law school’s financial aid office that details their financial aid package, and to interview with the Selection Committee.

Application and submission directions

Award: Each WTA9 Scholarship Recipient (“Recipient”) will be granted $10,000 per academic year.
