Law Society Diversity Access Scheme now open for applications

Are you applying for the LPC to start in 2018?

Please see below for details of the Law Society Diversity Access Scheme (DAS) which is now open for applications and closes on Sunday 8 April 2018.

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 180 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 2018 application round is for the academic year 2018/19.
