Great minds think ahead. At Chicago-Kent, thinking ahead means teaming top-tier students with innovative legal scholars and practitioners
to shape the law's future.
The Honors Scholars Program at Chicago-Kent provides full-tuition scholarships and living stipends for extraordinarily
talented and motivated students with the potential to influence the profession's direction. This support adds financial freedom to the intellectual freedom all
Chicago-Kent students enjoy.
Honors Scholars push the boundaries in every area of legal practice and public policy through close collaboration with Chicago-Kent faculty members. In their first year, they attend an honors seminar that explores emerging legal issues in diverse areas, including biotechnology, human rights, Internet privacy, environmental regulation, and international relations. In their second year, Honors Scholars work one-on-one with the dean on a law and public policy project. In their final year, they collaborate with the dean to produce a publishable paper on a topic of particular interest.
Chicago-Kent Honors Scholars graduate with incomparable experience
and influential contacts in the legal world — crucial capital
for students seeking to influence the shape and substance of the law.
