The National Black Prosecutors Foundation (NBPA Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The NBPA Foundation provides scholarships for African American law students who meet academic criteria, along with a demonstrated desire to serve the community.

The NBPA Foundation also funds a fellowship for African American law school interns at prosecutors’ offices across the country. In recognizing the financial hardships that prevent some students from securing unpaid internships, the NBPA Fellowship allows students to explore a career in prosecution.

NBPA has been and continues to be very proud of our leading chief prosecutors.

They continue to break through molds, overcoming adversity while blazing the trails for future leaders. Those trail blazers inspire us to seek positions of leadership. As we continue to fulfill our mission of retaining, recruiting, increasing the representation of blacks in prosecution, mentoring younger aspiring lawyers for leadership roles in years ahead, their example and work is the path to addressing inequalities that exist. Please see our Chief Prosecutors tab for more information about NBPA’s trailblazers.

We are proud of you!
