Scholarship throughout your time at university
Applications for 2022 are now open
We believe that a career in law should be open to everyone. Since 2012, we’ve helped some of the brightest and most creative legal minds launch their career by providing financial and mentoring support with UCAS applications and throughout their undergraduate degree, in addition to paid work experience.
We are proud that Scholarship winners have gone on to study at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities and to training contracts at some of the world’s largest law firms, including CMS.
Locations

Eligibility
- Year 12 students (England and Wales)

Our scholarships are for those from backgrounds which research shows are less likely to achieve a place at a prestigious university or establish a career in law.
