UCLI LSAT Scholarship

The Utah Center for Legal Inclusion (UCLI), with the generous support of the Utah State Bar Foundation, offers the LSAT Scholarship to students or graduates who are taking the LSAT examination with the purpose of applying to law school.

Purpose

The LSAT Scholarship is aimed at expanding opportunities for students pursuing legal education who have a record of service to Utah’s underrepresented communities and display a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion in their future legal career. University students, recent graduates, and others in the state of Utah who have taken or who anticipate taking the LSAT examination in 2024 are invited to apply.

Eligibility

To be eligible, applicants must:

  • Be at a university or undergraduate institution in Utah or be currently residing in Utah;

  • Have a record of service to Utah’s underrepresented communities and/or display a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion in their future legal career;

  • Have taken, be registered to take, or commit to take an LSAT preparation course or the LSAT examination by December 31, 2024; and

  • Not be receiving significant assistance for LSAT-related expenses from other sources

Selection Criteria

Awards are selected by a review committee of UCLI staff, and attorney and partner organization volunteers. Applications are evaluated on the following criteria:

  • Future potential to promote inclusion and belonging in Utah’s legal profession;

  • Demonstrated record of service to diverse communities throughout Utah;

  • Academic, professional, and personal history;

  • Financial need.

Award

The Scholarship helps to offset the expenses of studying for and taking the LSAT examination. The Scholarship award is offered to reimburse recipients up to their reward amount for qualifying costs associated with the exam.
