Our Crowdfunding Groups
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 in San Francisco in March 2018, and will also be used to send students to 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 2018.
**Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. All donors will receive a gift receipt from the UNLV Foundation via mail.**
Every little bit counts! Your donation will be put toward helping La Voz plan events.
Your donation will go toward event planning for La Voz and Huellas including food costs for attendees, location costs, and any necessary supplies.
Your donation can benefit an undergraduate Huellas member by giving him or her an opportunity to win a scholarship to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and break the first barrier toward law school.
Your donation can go toward a round-trip airfare for a La Voz member to participate in the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) Corporate Counsel & Moot Court Competition taking place in March 2018 in San Francisco.
Your donation can go toward a textbook scholarship for a high school participant in Huellas for college or a university as they take their first steps toward higher education and potentially the career of law.
Your generous donation can be put toward a scholarship awarded to a law student who is a member of La Voz or a participant of Huellas in order to help continue their studies. In addition, money can be put toward costs for La Voz’s annual Huellas Closing Event where we bring together our participants one last time as a thank you.
Your generous donation can help shape the next generation of leaders. In addition to any of the above uses, this donation can go toward bringing in nationally recognized speakers and help shape and inspire the next generation of Latino Attorneys.
