Answering Legal Tops Forbes' List Of Best Law School Scholarships
Since 2017, the Answering Legal Foundation has proudly awarded its $5,000 Future Attorneys of America Scholarship to law school students across the nation. Now we’re proud to share that our scholarship prize has been recognized by Forbes as the best law school scholarship for aspiring lawyers.

The Future Attorneys of America Scholarship helps us connect with some of the nation’s brightest and most inspiring law students, and we’re hoping this recognition from Forbes will help us reach even more worthy candidates.”
Our Future Attorney of America Scholarship was one of ten prizes highlighted on Forbes’ recent list, and was ranked number one on their list. Also included were scholarships supported by the American Bar Association and the American Association of Justice.
The most recent recipient of the Future Attorneys of America Scholarship was Felicia Gordon, a student from Suffolk University Law School. An announcement regarding our next recipient will be shared later this spring.
