Fri, 05 Jan 2024 12:38:30 -0500

Stanford Law School is pleased to announce the launch of its Stanford Law Scholars Institute (SLSI).

Stanford Law School's Law Scholars Institute (SLLI) is a program to which any student currently enrolled in a community college or four-year university can apply. Applicants from communities that have been historically underrepresented in the legal profession are encouraged to apply.

Law Scholars will participate in the Program over the span of several years, beginning with a one-week residential program at Stanford Law School during the summer of 2024 and continuing through the law school application process.

The fully subsidized one-week residential program will include housing on Stanford's campus, meals, a $3000 stipend to offset lost income, as well as travel to and from Stanford.

Following residency, Law Scholars will receive ongoing mentoring by Stanford law students, faculty, and staff as well as practitioners from a range of practice and geographic areas, the support of the community of Scholars, who will serve as peer coaches, and financial support for a LSAT preparation course.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

To be eligible to participate in SLS SLSI, you must be enrolled in a community college, college, or university and will, ideally, be a sophomore or junior in Fall 2024. You must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2. All such students are invited to apply.

If you are not a US citizen, you will be responsible for ensuring that all immigration requirements, such as obtaining visas, are met in order to participate.

All selected Scholars must agree to comply with Stanford and local public health requirements related to COVID-19, including vaccination.

The deadline to submit applications is January 19, 2024, by 5:00 PM (Pacific).
