At Cardozo Law, our supportive community is here to help you succeed in your legal career. Our faculty are top ranked for scholarly impact and their doors are always open to students.
The Gates and Martinidez Scholars Program
The Gates Scholars Program recognizes students with significant potential who are first-generation college or graduate-school students or have experienced significant barriers or challenges on their path to a career in law. The program builds community, both within the school and with alumni mentors, and helps students overcome obstacles by providing special programming and support.
The David Martinidez Scholarship provides scholarship funding for applicants who have demonstrated a commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion or have themselves overcome obstacles, financial and otherwise, in advancing their career objectives. The scholarship is named for a former dean of admissions who championed diversity at Cardozo Law.
