The Scholar II track's goals focus on building a strong law school application by concentrating on LSAT test preparation, creating and finalizing the student's resume,personal statement and diversity statement for submission to law school.
To be considered for the Scholar II track, students should be first generation college students, low income, or members of groups underrepresented in the legal profession. Students must hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and must have completed over 85 college credits by June of the year that the student is applying for admission to the program. Priority will be given to eligible students who have successfully completed the Program’s first track as well as students who are rising seniors, or students who have completed their third year in college.
Accepted students will be immersed in an asynchronous and synchronous intensive LSAT Prep course so that they are better prepared to take the July/August LSAT. Please start your own preparation by reviewing the Law School Admission Council’s page for J.D. (law school) applicants. You will need to register for the LSAT by the appropriate deadline for the August test. Please be sure to also check your eligibility for fee waivers before registering for the LSAT. The fee waiver approval process takes four to six weeks and does not cover any registrations retroactively so we recommend that you start this process now. Lastly, please also review LSAC’s page for test-takers requiring testing accommodations.
The cost to attend this virtual program is $1,600 which covers the cost of tuition and course materials. Accepted students may submit a request to enroll in a payment plan during the program registration period. Should you be accepted, a seat deposit of $300 will be required to hold your seat.
Need-based scholarship opportunities may be available on a first come first served basis to accepted students who meet all necessary requirements. Award amounts may vary. To be considered for any scholarships, students must submit proof of financial need at the time that they submit their supporting documents for completion of their application. For application instructions and deadline information, please visit the application page.
Accepted proof of financial need include:
Payment plans are also available. Students desiring a payment plan option must request to be enrolled in one before their deposit is collected.
