Undergraduate Scholarship at Texas Southern University

The Porter Hedges Pre-Law Scholarship was created to recognize and assist undergraduate students at Texas Southern University that are interested in pursuing a career in the legal profession upon graduation. The scholarship gives talented students a real-world look at the practice of law and the many ways in which lawyers serve and contribute to their communities.

In addition to receiving the scholarship award, recipients have the opportunity to meet with Porter Hedges attorneys, connect with a third-year law student from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, and visit the Porter Hedges office in downtown Houston.
