Could you use a $2,500 grant in your first year to help with books, fees, materials, or whatever you wish to use it for?

If your answer to all three questions is "YES"*, then White Barnes Solicitors would like to hear from you.

We are a well established law firm with offices on the Central Coast as well as Sydney CBD and Parramatta and we are looking to contribute to our community by helping two new law students in 2011.

White Barnes is offering two $2,500 grants to first year law students at university in 2011. All you have to do is submit a 1,000 word essay on why you want to study law, and what you want to achieve with a career in the law.

Following independent assessment we will award grants to the writers of the two most compelling essays following their receipt of an offer of enrollment in law at a NSW university in 2011. You should submit your essay in either hard copy or soft copy format to:

The Senior Partner

PO Box A827
Sydney South, NSW, 1235

Or email: mjb@whitebarnes.com.au

Each essay must have a cover sheet detailing the applicant's full name, address, telephone number and email address if applicable.

Closing date for submissions of essays is 4:00pm, Friday 28th January 2011.

The award will be paid directly to the two students selected in three installments over 2011. The first installment of $1,000 will be paid in week one of the first semester of 2011, while the balance will be paid in two installments of $750 each on 1st June and 1st September respectively.

Start your essay now to ensure that you meet the closing date. After all, this grant could make all the difference to making your first year of legal studies more manageable.
