UC Hastings created the Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) in 1969 to make an outstanding legal education accessible to those who come from disadvantaged educational, economic, social, or physical backgrounds. UC Hastings recognizes that the traditional numeric criteria used to evaluate applicants may not be sufficient indicators of academic potential for students who have experienced restricted access to academic opportunities and resources.
The California Scholars Program supports a pipeline to enroll and financially support students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the American University in Armenia. The Program offers full tuition scholarships and $20,000 in living expenses, per year, for all three years at UC Hastings. UC Hastings also guarantees its California Scholars on-campus student housing in the McAllister Tower.
The Office of Admissions invites you to join us on Friday, September 6 from 1:00 – 6:00 pm for a special on-campus information session: Justice for All: Diversity and Inclusion in Law School Admissions. You will attend a mock law school class, gain insight on how to bolster your law school application, and hear directly from diverse UC Hastings students, faculty, and alumni about their law school experiences. The session will be geared towards the diverse law school applicant, but all are welcome.
