NSBA CHARITABLE
FUNDS, INC. AWARDS LSAT PREP SCHOLARSHIPS
NSBA Charitable Funds
Inc announced the recipients of the 2008 LSAT Prep Scholarship
Program. The scholarship program was established
by the Nebraska Minority Justice Committee to expand the pipeline
of diverse law school applicants. As Linda Crump, Co-Chair of
the Nebraska Minority Justice Committee explains, “LSAT exam
scores are one of the primary factors considered by law schools
in the admissions process. Given the high stakes, it is not surprising
that many enroll for a LSAT preparatory exam. There is, however,
a considerable expense in enrolling for this class.
This scholarship
is meant to help minority students overcome the economic barrier
they may face in taking the LSAT Prep Course.”
The program provides a scholarship for a Kaplan LSAT Prep Course
and covers the costs of registering for the LSAT exam. The four
scholarship recipients are: Elizabeth Baxter, Elisabeth Dority,
Jannette Taylor and Stacy Marie Henry.
The Scholarship Program was funded by the generous financial
contributions of: Koley Jessen PC LLO (Platinum Level Sponsor);
Baird Holm LLP, Berens & Tate PC LLO, and Husch Blackwell
Sanders (Gold Level Sponsors); and Legal Aid of Nebraska and
McGrath North Mullin & Kratz PC (Silver Level Sponsors).
Scholarship recipients will be recognized at the 4th Annual Legal
Diversity Summit in Omaha on September 5, 2008. The deadline
for the next scholarship cycle will be June 16, 2008. For more
