PracticePro is excited to grant a number of Pre-Law Diversity Scholarships in 2023! Financial barriers and a lack of guidance often prevent underrepresented students from attending law school. The PracticePro Pre-Law Diversity Scholarship provides students with the resources to navigate the law school admissions process and prepare for fulfilling legal careers.
Through the Pre-Law Diversity Scholarship, PracticePro aims to cultivate diverse talent at the earliest stage by helping underrepresented pre-law students secure acceptances to top law schools and prepare for legal recruiting and practice.

TIMELINE
TESTIMONIALS
Tariq Rajei
University of Texas Austin Class of 2023
“Being the first person in my family to consider attending law school and pursuing a career in the legal field, I didn’t have people to guide me on my journey of taking the LSAT, building a legal resume, and completing the other components of applying to law school. With the help of Niki and the rest of the PracticePro team, the process of applying to law school and preparing for a career in law are so much less daunting for me. I am so thankful to be a Pre-Law Diversity Scholar because the PracticePro team has constantly recognized and encouraged my potential. I can’t wait to see how far I’ll go under PracticePro’s expert guidance!”

Having a team who believed in me and saw my potential from day one has helped guide me throughout this process and brought me one step closer to accomplishing my goal of becoming a lawyer.”
