Harley D. Hallet Renewable Entrance Scholarship

Description
The Harley D. Hallett Renewable Entrance Scholarships were established by the estate of Elizabeth A. Hallett (1912-1993) in memory of her late husband, His Honour Judge Harley Donald Hallett (1912-1977), a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School, class of 1939, who practised law (1939-1946) and served with distinction as Magistrate and Provincial Court Judge (1946-1977) in St. Catharines, Ontario. The renewable entrance scholarships supported by the Harley D. Hallett Scholarship Fund are among the most prestigious at Canadian law schools. Hallett Scholars are selected on the basis of academic background and performance taking into account financial need. Preference may be given to candidates who have completed graduate degrees or honours programs. A candidate’s demonstrated interest and background in business studies, criminal law or criminology may also be taken into account. Recipients must be Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons, Ontario residents and have demonstrated financial need. The number of scholarships to be awarded is determined by the Harley D. Hallett Scholarship Fund Committee. Several entrance scholarships will be awarded annually to the top students who enter the first-year program at Osgoode with at least an A- average. Recipients who maintain a B+ average and continue to demonstrate financial need will receive a further funding in each of the second and third years of their undergraduate law program.
