Texas Appleseed, Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions©, and Texas attorneys supporting the Diversity Legal Scholars program believe that law schools should be accessible to all qualified students. This program helps minority law school applicants expand their law school options by awarding scholarships covering the full cost of a Kaplan (LSAT) preparation course. Texas Appleseed has awarded more than 300 of these scholarships since the program began in 1997.
Scholarship recipients must be Texas residents and apply to take the LSAT on the designated date that corresponds to their Application Round. Example: Round 1 scholarship recipients must take the June LSAT test.
