I'm not 100% sure but, I believe they did something like this last July but it wasn't exclusive to first time takers. It does make me believe that lsat registration for first time takers are low and this might be a way to get more people to take the test.

With my improved LSAT score (thanks 7sage) I got into a law school with a partial scholarship. I emailed back for more funds. They tripled the scholarship. A number of the forums recommend doing this around seat registration time.
The deadline for the June 2014 LSAT is May 6th for the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean! Register soon if you're still intending on taking it for June! Just a happy reminder for my fellow 7sagers!
