The Diversity Access Scheme

Opening doors, changing lives:
scholarships for the solicitors of tomorrow

The Law Society’s Diversity Access Scheme (DAS) is a scholarship with a difference. It provides awardees with:


Finance 

Funding for up to the full cost of your LPC fees.

Professional contacts

A professional mentor to help answer your questions about starting your career in law.

Opportunities to gain work experience

Work experience placements, brokered through the Law Society.
Already it has helped over 170 students complete their professional education. Without the DAS these students would not have been in a position to join the profession.

If you don’t have the financial means to pay for your LPC, the DAS might be able to help.

Who should apply?

We encourage applications from graduates and those in their final year of a law degree, including mature students.

The DAS 2017 application round is for those who wish to start a full time or part time LPC either in September 2017 or January 2018.

Application criteria

You have to fulfil certain criteria to be eligible for the DAS. To check your eligibility, please visit our website.

How many awards are available?

Up to ten standard DAS scholarships will be available this year.
