BOLDY Cultivating the Next Generation of Discovery PIONEERS

EDI: The Next Generation (NextGEN) is a brand-new initiative created to incentivize and inspire the non-profit’s robust constituency of thought-leaders, long-time supporters and legacy ambassadors to integrate the next generation of discovery professionals into the EDI community.

EDI has allocated over $160,000 in scholarship awards for up to 40 recipients to attend EDI events. By removing the potential cost-barrier of attendance, NextGEN offers these newly minted professionals a seat on the bridge to gain insight from experienced attorneys, technology specialists and other discovery professionals. EDI seeks to foster career growth and develop relationships with peers.

Every EDI Leadership Summit Ambassador may nominate junior-colleagues, recent graduates or in-house partners to receive NextGEN scholarships. EDI has pledged up to 40 Summit registrations to qualifying candidates under the age of 40.

Please submit nominees using the form below no later than September 2nd, 2022.

  • Representatives from EDI Ambassadors are encouraged to submit qualified nominees. Eligible nominees include junior-colleagues, recent graduates or in-house partners under the age of 40.

  • There is no limit on the number of individuals that can be submitted for nomination.

  • Nominees are subject to review and approval by the EDI Board of Directors.

  • 40 NextGEN scholarships will be awarded each year. Not all nominees are guaranteed to receive the award.

  • NextGEN scholarships are equal to a complete waiver of one qualifying service provider, law firm or in-house registration fee for the 12th Annual Leadership Summit (the scholarship award does not include travel or lodging costs).

  • Please submit nominees no later than September 2nd, 2022.
