The William H. Gates Public Service Law Program
The University of Washington School of Law is proud to announce the William H.
Gates Public Service Law Program. Created in honor of William H.
Gates Sr., a prominent Washington state attorney and public servant, this
program awards five scholarships on an annual basis to first year students
entering the UW School of Law J.D. program. Each Gates PSL scholarship award
will cover tuition, books, other normal fees imposed for University and UW
School of Law enrollment, costs of room and board and incidental expenses.
Acceptance of a Gates PSL scholarship represents a commitment on the part of
each recipient ("Scholar") to work in public service for five years following
graduation.
The presence of this Program at the UW School of Law cements our institution’s
commitment to public service and enhances the experience of the entire law
school and university community.
