The Silver Scholar Program is a scholarship award for highly talented and self-motivated first year law students whose life experiences, interests and achievements demonstrate a dedication to Proskauer’s values and a spirit of determination. Students selected to be Silver Scholars will receive a summer associate position at Proskauer and be eligible for a cash award payable in installments. The award is named after Edward Silver, the first elected Chairman of Proskauer and a premier advocate of his time. The program reflects and is an outgrowth of Ed's lifelong commitment to creating equal opportunity for all those wishing to pursue a legal career. 

We encourage individuals from all ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities and socioeconomic statuses, including candidates who are the first in their families to attend college or pursue an advanced degree, as well as military veterans and individuals with disabilities, to apply. We also encourage students who have demonstrated outstanding law school academic achievement to apply, regardless of their law school.
