LSAT Prep Scholarship – Cleveland Metro Bar Association

LSAT PREP SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Mission Statement

The goal of the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association’s LSAT Prep Scholarship Program is to improve inclusivity in the legal profession. Through a coordinated series of professional workforce development programs for students from northeast Ohio, funded by the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation, the CMBA has been working to remove barriers to college, law school and the practice of law. The LSAT Scholarship Program will eliminate an identified barrier for many of our region’s college students or graduates pursuing law school admission – access to effective tools to prepare for LSAT success.

Through a partnership with Kaplan, a trusted leader and innovator in LSAT education, the CMBA LSAT Prep Scholarship Program provides aspiring law students with scholarships for a top level, comprehensive LSAT preparation course, including 12 months of access to live and on demand instruction, current materials and practice tests, and one-on-one tutoring sessions with an LSAT expert.
