Diversity LSAT Preparation Course Scholarship

Warner, Norcross and Judd awards annual scholarships to racially and/or ethnically diverse students in their junior or senior year of college to take a Kaplan LSAT preparation course. You can find the link to more information and the application below. 

What Scholarships Can Do For You

Each year, the Pre-Law Center hosts an annual Kaplan LSAT Prep Scholarship giveaway where a pre-law student receives a scholarship for a free Kaplan LSAT Prep course. It includes a 4-month course that the student can take in-person, live online, or on-demand, up to a $1,500 value. Kaplan is known for their comprehensive, excellent (but very expensive) courses, so this is a great opportunity for a student to take one of these courses for free. In Fall 2023, the winner of the scholarship was Yazmin Torres.

​

In Fall 2023, an LSAT Prep Workshop scholarship through Blueprint was also awarded to Maeya Beach.

​

Congratulations, Yazmin and Maeya!
