Clifford Chance Scholarship for Diverse Students in Europe

We are excited to announce the Clifford Chance Scholarship for Diverse Students in Europe, as part of our REACH (i.e. advancing Race Equality And Celebrating Heritage) diversity and inclusion initiative across the Continental European region. 


The Scholarship is specifically targeting university students with a diverse cultural or social economic background, currently in their final years of law studies in Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, graduating between 2023 and 2026, majoring in business law and interested in pursuing a career in an international law firm. While not a requirement, Clifford Chance is particularly keen to hear from applicants who are first-generation university students. 


By this initiative, we wish to support talented university students with diverse cultural or social economic backgrounds succeed in their studies and early careers. Ultimately, we aim to improve social mobility within the legal sector, to ensure that our workforce better represents the social and economic diversity across Continental Europe and to increase inclusion in our law firm and in the legal sector in general. Please feel free to reach out in case you are interested or have any queries.
