Story

The Law Society Diversity Access Scheme enables exceptional and talented individuals who would otherwise be financially barred, to pursue a career as a solicitor through the provision of LPC scholarships, work experience and mentoring.

Each year we are overwhelmed by the volume of applications from deserving candidates and your donation will ensure that as many as possible can be helped.

 

 

"Words cannot begin to explain how grateful I am.

The scheme has provided me with a life changing opportunity. In the past, I have faced many obstacles including domestic violence, school exclusion and homelessness.

This award has given me the freedom to fulfil my potential and removed the social and financial restraints inherent within my background." 

 

"If it was not for the Diversity Access Scheme my dream of being a solicitor would be unattainable despite my first class law degree"

 

 

"I had a difficult start to life as I spent my childhood in local authority care, but I have always been determined not to let this stop me from achieving my full potential".
