Honors Scholars Program Application Guidelines

Application deadline: Monday, January 28, 2013

Candidates selected as Honors Scholars receive annual law school scholarships of full tuition plus a $10,000 per year stipend for living expenses. These awards have a total value of approximately $150,000 over three years.

Other students with demonstrated academic and leadership achievements may qualify for law school scholarships ranging in total value from $75,000 to full tuition over three years.

Selection

Chicago-Kent awards honors scholarships based on academic performance, leadership qualities, and co-curricular activities. Applicants should have a strong undergraduate record and an LSAT score of at least 165.

Applicants who do not meet these requirements will be considered for other law school scholarship awards. Find more information on other Chicago-Kent scholarship opportunities.

Interview Weekend

Candidates selected as finalists for honors scholarships will be invited to attend an interview weekend at the law school from Friday, March 8, through Sunday, March 9, 2013. Chicago-Kent provides transportation to the school and accommodations in downtown Chicago for finalists. During this weekend, finalists interview with law school faculty, meet with students, and learn about Chicago-Kent, IIT, and the city of Chicago.
