Support Latin/Hispanic Students at the Boyd School of Law!
About La Voz
La Voz is the Latino Law Student Association at the William S. Boyd School of Law. Our primary focus is to empower and promote the success of law students with backgrounds that are not traditionally represented in the legal profession. We are most known for the Huellas program. Huellas, “Footprints” in Spanish, is a nationally recognized and award-winning mentorship program that pairs a local attorney, a Boyd law student, an undergraduate student, and a high school student into groups for the purpose of mentoring. Through Huellas and other programs, La Voz successfully serves as a unifying and informative organization that connects with the Latino community.
What Your Donation Will Fund
To continue the growth and success that students receive through their involvement in Huellas, we need your help. Your donations will give us the ability to provide Huellas participants with scholarships for the LSAT, textbooks for school, and bar exam preparation materials. Additionally, your donation will allow students to attend conferences that will afford them opportunities to network with the legal community. The funds raised will be used to send law students to the Hispanic National Bar Association conference, and will also be used to help students participate in moot court competitions. As well as assist La Voz in organizing more events.
How Scholarships Will Be Awarded
In order to qualify for a scholarship, La Voz members and Huellas participants will have to submit an application. Applications will be reviewed and chosen by a committee of law students and attorney members of the Latino Bar Association. Scholarships will be awarded at the Huellas Closing Reception in April 2022.
**Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. All donors will receive a gift receipt from the UNLV Foundation via mail.**
Your donation will go toward our Huellas Mentorship Program!
Your donation can help break the first barrier towards higher education and law school! Your donation can benefit a Huellas member by helping pay college applications or giving him or her an opportunity to win a scholarship to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
Your donation can help La Voz members participate in the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) Corporate Counsel Conference & Moot Court Competition by helping sponsor travel, boarding, and costs related to the conference and competition!
Your donation can go towards a college or law school textbook scholarship for a Huellas participant as they take their first steps toward higher education and potentially the career of law. Your donation can also benefit many of our first-generation graduates as they require study materials to prepare for the State Bar.
Your generous donation can be put toward a tuition scholarship awarded to a student who is a member of La Voz or a participant of our Huellas Mentorship Program in order to help continue their studies.
Your generous donation can help shape the next generation of leaders. In addition to any of the above uses, this donation can help La Voz members and Huellas participants join in hands-on learning experiences for Latinx/Hispanic students.
