UCLI-ACE Legal Leaders LSAT Scholarship

The Utah Center for Legal Inclusion (UCLI), in partnership with ACE Test Preparation, offers the UCLI-ACE Legal Leaders LSAT Scholarship to students or graduates who are taking the LSAT examination with the purpose of applying to law school.

Purpose

The UCLI-ACE Legal Leaders LSAT Scholarship is aimed at expanding opportunities for students pursuing legal education who have financial need and would not otherwise be able to adequately prepare for the LSAT, and who have a commitment to serving Utah’s underserved communities in their future legal career. The Scholarship also seeks to connect legal employers with outstanding future attorneys. University students, recent graduates, and others in the state of Utah who anticipate taking the LSAT examination within the next year are invited to apply.

  • Commitment to studying for the LSAT on a weekly basis for 15-20 hrs/wk and taking the LSAT in the near future; and
