Hi Everyone!
Just in case you are not on the AASE email list (if you're not, please check your membership), I want to share some updated:
AASE/AccessLex ASP Faculty Scholarship Grant
Applications are now open. Applications will be due on April 25. Grant recipients will be announced at the 2022 AASE Annual Conference.

AASE Awards
We are extending the deadline for AASE Award Nominations. AASE developed the following recommendations for the Award Committee:
- AASE should recognize members’ valuable contributions to law school academic support
- AASE awards should have as an important objective the recognition of early and mid-career ASP professors
- AASE Awards should be for specific work or in specific categories
- The goal of AASE awards should be honoring contributions, not covering categories
The 2022 Awards committee, DeShun Harris (chair), Laura Mott, and Melissa Hale, are soliciting nominations for contributions by individuals, or in appropriate circumstances, groups, in any of the following areas:
- Specific ideas or innovations—whether disseminated through academic writing, newsletters, conference presentations or over the listserv
- Specific services to the profession—e.g., advocacy with the NCBE, etc.
- Providing services to students
- Promoting diversity in the profession and expanding access to the legal profession
- Mentoring and supporting others in ASP
Recognition may be given to more than one individual or group in any of these categories, and no category requires an award in any one year. Anyone in law school academic support may offer nominations, but current AASE Board members and AASE Awards Committee members are ineligible for recognition. Awards recipients must be members of AASE at the time an award is bestowed.
Please send your nominations to DeShun Harris (D.Harris@memphis.edu) by April 1st, 2022.
