Outside Scholarships for Incoming 1Ls

Kharmon1994

Hello all,

Does anyone have any tips or successful strategies to search for and apply to outside scholarships prior to 1L?

Most online tools are targeted towards undergraduates, and lists of law school scholarships don't usually allow one to filter out items that don't apply. This makes it difficult to search and prioritize which scholarships to focus on.

Any thoughts, tips, and/or resources would be appreciated - thank you!
