To allow more chapters to participate in P.A.D. competitions, the Phi Alpha Delta Competitions Committee offers monetary assistance in the form of Registration Assistance Grants, which cover team registration fees to P.A.D. competitions. 

All P. A.D. chapters are encouraged to apply for a Registration Assistance Grant if they intend to send a team or teams to the 2026 Law School Mock Trial Competition. To apply, please complete the application below in its entirety (including attaching team member resumes). Each chapter may submit only one application regardless of the number of teams it intends to send to the competition.

Important Information:

  • Grant applications are due by midnight Pacific Time on Friday, September 12, 2025.
  • Recipients will be notified no later than October 13, 2025 (in advance of registration opening).
  • If your chapter is sending more than one team, only one team may receive funding for this event.
  • Multiple grants are available for the 2026 Competition.

Any P.A.D. chapter preparing to send a team or teams to the 2026 competition may apply for a grant to pay for the registration fees for one team. Partial grants may be awarded.
