In February 2020, AccessLex Institute will begin accepting applications for LexScholars by AccessLexSM, an innovative new diversity pipeline initiative focused on providing aspiring law students from underrepresented backgrounds with resources and guidance to pursue their goal of attending law school. Ultimately, the aim of the program is to explore and develop sustainable models for increasing law school diversity.

LexScholars is designed to serve prospective law students from underrepresented racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds who possess potential for law school success but may be unlikely to gain admission due to unfavorable LSAT scores and undergraduate grades. Participants in the program will benefit from a robust program consisting of LSAT preparation, law school admission counseling, financial education, wellness training, and writing skills development.

Applications for the 2020 cycle will be posted on February 3. All required materials must be submitted by April 1. Applicants selected for the program will be notified via email by April 15.

Learn more about LexScholars at AccessLex.org/lexscholars. If you have questions, reach out to us at [email protected].
