The Root-Tilden-Kern Scholarship[1] is a full-tuition public service scholarship for students at New York University School of Law.[1] It is widely considered to be the most prestigious public interest scholarship for law students in the United States.[2][3][4]
The committee's first efforts were directed at making available to women the prestigious Root-Tilden Scholarship Program, then restricted to me. They were successful immediately, and women students were able to benefit from the program in 1969/70.
