Law Bursary

Each year, Everingham Solomons offers a Tamworth, Gunnedah, Manilla or Quirindi Year 12 student wishing to undertake university study in law the opportunity to receive a Bursary funded by this firm.

The Sir Adrian Solomons Memorial Law Bursary was first granted in 1998. It provides financial assistance for the successful applicant during their first year as well as an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in our offices periodically throughout the duration of their studies.

Each year, the Principals of local High Schools are contacted and advised of the details. Interested students can then liaise with the Principal or Careers Advisor of their school, who will assist them in making a formal application for this Bursary.

The selection process does not depend solely on academic merit. We appreciate that students come from a variety of backgrounds and accordingly the selection process concentrates on the attributes of the student as a whole, rather than merely academic achievement.
