Augustana Law School Preparation Grants

Across the country, some pre-law students who are working to gain admission to law school are at a disadvantage. Because of their financial circumstances, they have a difficult time affording test preparation for the LSAT, LSAT fees and law school application costs. Today it is not uncommon for a pre-law student to spend more than $1,000 on law school preparation.

To defray these steep costs, the Augustana Pre-Law Program worked with the Office of Advancement, asking donors to make gifts in order to create law school preparation grants for the college's Pre-Law students. These donor-funded grants help students with a demonstrated financial need, determined by the Office of Financial Aid, pay for some of their law school preparation.

If you would like to donate to this grant program and support Augustana's aspiring lawyers, visit the donation page, select "Departments and Programs" under the area of support, and select "Pre-Law Program" in the drop-down menu.
