PreProBono 2017 Fellowship Program

This is a great opportunity   If you are selected, the program is free.
Best,
Michael Paris

PreProBono is happy to announce that we are accepting applications for our 2017 Fellowship Program, which aims to send bright, public interest-minded students to top law schools in the country. 

Now in its sixth year, the Fellowship has a stellar track record. Most PreProBono Fellows scored in the 80th percentile or higher on LSAT, with 9 achieving scores in the top 10 percent of all LSAT takers. Our Fellows have gained admissions to top law schools including Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Columbia, Virginia, Berkeley, Cornell, and Georgetown. 

If selected as a fellow, beginning this June, you will receive over 200 hours of intensive LSAT training, law school applications counseling, and personal statement editing. You will participate in our summer public interest speaker series, where you will meet with current practicing public interest attorneys.  From the day you get accepted until next September, you will help build PreProBono’s programming, volunteer to further our organization’s mission, and create the next year’s Fellowship.

The deadline to submit an application is March 20, 2017. Admissions are rolling. APPLY NOW

The Future Looks Just. Like You,

PreProBono is a NYC based 501(c)3 non-profit organization in operation since 2008 and with an alumni network of over 1,000 students who have been accepted to top law schools across the country, including Stanford, Harvard, Columbia and NYU.
