OUR HISTORY

The Juris Scholar Foundation, Inc was formed by five first year law students in October of 2002. From its inception, it served to raise money for minority and disadvantaged students. Its first fundraiser allowed the FAMU Student Bar Association to open its bank account with $126.00. It provided financial support to student run organizations, such as The Independent Strike, the first student news publication at the FAMU College of Law.  Following the graduation of its founders from law school, the Foundation provided dozens of students with book grants to help with their first year costs of legal education. The Partnership initiative was formed out of a growing call for change that networks Florida businesses, clubs, organizations, and churches online. This enterprise activity of the Juris Scholar Foundation, Inc. provides the financial support for our charitable purpose.
