The Chicago-Kent PreLaw Undergraduate Scholars program ("PLUS")
offers a unique and unforgettable experience for college students
who are interested in the legal profession. This rigorous four-week
program is designed to provide students with a "taste" of the law school experience. The program is primarily directed
at undergraduate college students from disadvantaged groups that
are underrepresented in the legal profession.
The PLUS program is a four-week summer institute which
will: (1) introduce participants to law school and the legal profession;
(2) provide participants with substantive skills to strengthen their
preparation for law school; and (3) educate and prepare participants
for the law school application and admission process. Students must attend
all classes and participate in all program activities to receive
a stipend. Because this is a full-time commitment, students
must agree to not work outside of the program.
The PLUS program targets college students who have just completed
either their first, second or third year in college. All students are encouraged to apply who will not have received their bachelors degree by the start of the program, but preference will be given to those who will have completed their first and second years of college by the start of the program. Students who have already completed a bachelors degree
are not eligible for the program. For additional information, please
download the application packet or contact Gloria Smith, Administrative
Director-PLUS Program, at plus@kentlaw.edu
if you have any questions.
