KEKER VAN NEST & PETERS LLC DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP INC

KEKER VAN NEST & PETERS LLC DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP INC is a 501(c)(3) private foundation (EIN 45-3125773) established in 2011 that administers the Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP Diversity Scholars program. The foundation's work is focused on supporting first‑year law students who have overcome significant adversity and who would contribute to greater diversity among Bay Area litigators. The program awards scholarship grants (the firm routinely awards up to $100,000 annually, split among multiple recipients) and pairs recipients with 1:1 academic and professional mentors from the firm, plus invitations to firm events and continuing legal education. The scholarship program is administered through the law firm’s Diversity Scholars initiative and has been active and publicly reported in recent years. In recent years the foundation has continued regular activity: it awarded $100,000 in scholarship funds to cohorts in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and—since inception—has awarded totals reported by the program in excess of $700,000–$800,000 to dozens of law students nationwide.
