In 2005, the AARP Foundation created a scholarship program in honor of Jerry
E. Florence, former Director of the AARP Foundation who passed away suddenly
during his tenure. Mr. Florence was a visionary leader who was respected and
admired by all who worked with him.

In remembrance of Jerry, the AARP Foundation will award ten scholarships of
$1,000 to first time attendees of the National Aging and Law Conference
(NALC) to be held in December of 2008. Scholarships cover the cost of
registration and travel, and also go toward lodging for the Conference.
Scholarships are awarded to individuals who provide free or low-cost legal
services to older persons that have limited income and resources; show
commitment to the ethical representation of older persons; and demonstrate
financial need to attend. Non-legal advocates such as adult protective
services staff, law enforcement staff and others that work on behalf of
older persons are also encouraged to apply.

The deadline for submission of scholarship applications is August 15.
