The LGBT Bar Association Foundation of Greater New York ("LGBT Bar NY") offers an LSAT Scholarship to help defray the costs of a preparatory course and/or examination fees for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
As part of our efforts to promote the expertise and advancement of LGBTQ+ legal professionals, LGBT Bar NY is seeking to increase the pipeline of LGBTQ+ people entering the legal profession in New York. People who belong to multiple communities historically excluded from the practice of law are especially encouraged to apply. The recipient of the LSAT scholarship will receive financial assistance to take a LSAT preparation course of their choosing.
Scholarship applicants must be currently enrolled, or graduated from, a four-year college or university. Must be committed to taking the LSAT in the same year the scholarship is awarded, and pursuing a law degree at an ABA accredited law school with the intention of practicing in New York upon graduation.
Recipients will be awarded up to $1,500.00 USD, made payable to the applicable course provider of the applicant’s choosing.
