We are currently accepting applications for the 2022 7K scholarship! At 7Sage, our mission is to make legal education accessible, but talk is cheap and school is expensive. We’re putting our money where our mouth is and offering a series of awards to seven aspiring law students. Our goal is to support aspiring lawyers who will work toward a more just future and to help increase diversity at top law schools. At least half of the awards will go to under-represented minorities.
Here’s the full schedule of awards:
One winner
One first runner-up
Two second runners-up
Two third runners-up
One fourth runner-up
Apply by July 1. Full details and this year's application are available here: https://classic.7sage.com/7k-scholarship/.

Hi @ashleytien240 and @tajira701
Sorry, due to privacy concerns, we are unable to share writing samples from previous winners.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Hi,are there some writing samples from previous winners? It may help us get a general sense of the essays. Thank you.
could we see writing samples from winners?
Hi @inioluwaade359.ade, thank you for your question! It would be best to use a reference that has knowledge about multiple aspects of your candidacy. Use your best judgment!
Hi @yayuzheng139.zheng, thank you for your question! You can anticipate that winners would be announced a few weeks after the application deadline.
Hi, just a follow-up question, I was wondering gor the 'someone who might be able to verify some of this information', which information is this referring to. The financial aspect or more one's background and mission?
When will the result be released?
Hi @saahilbanga604140, thanks for responding, and you are correct. I appreciate your comment--we'll be sure to see how we may be able to expand the scholarship program for the future!
Hi @tajira701, thank you for your question! Yes, this scholarship program is currently for candidates applying specifically to American JD programs.
Hi @nadiaeugenejo339, 7Sage Consultant here--you can list someone that you would be able to use as a reference--they could be a professional reference, a mentor, or whomever you think could best attest to the information you're including.
Hi @ashleytien240, former admissions officer and current consultant here--it's certainly worth it to try!
I feel like my chances of winning are so low lol...but I'm broke as hell. what a dilemma.

Are these awards open for persons applying to Canadian JD programs or is it strictly American JD programs only?
I would assume only American seeing as the link with full details specifies it is open to students pursuing an American JD.
I was hoping it was available for Canadian JD programs too :(
who are some people we can list for the contact info of "someone who might be able to verify some of this information"? A friend? Professor?? A professional reference/supervisor?
