LSAT Scholarship Program
The LGBT Bar Association Foundation of Greater New York (LGBT Bar NY) awards an annual LSAT Scholarship to help defray the costs of Law School Admission Test (LSAT) preparation courses and examination registration fees.
As part of our commitment to expanding diversity and equal representation across the legal profession, this initiative directly reduces financial hurdles for aspiring attorneys. Candidates from communities historically underrepresented within the New York legal community are strongly encouraged to apply.
Eligibility Criteria
- Hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution or be currently enrolled in good standing in an undergraduate program.
- Commit to sitting for the official LSAT examination within 12 months of receiving the award.
- Demonstrate an intent to pursue a J.D. at an ABA-accredited law school with plans to practice law in the State of New York following graduation.
