GTTC’s Law School Leg-Up Program
Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell LLP, a litigation and trial practice law firm in Seattle, proudly offers a grant for diverse undergraduate students in need of financial assistance for an LSAT prep course, the LSAT test itself, and law school application fees. GTTC recognizes that expenses associated with getting into law school can create a barrier to greater diversity in the legal field. The recipient of the grant will receive a free LSAT prep course from Princeton Review (typical cost $1,800) and $450 to offset the cost to take the LSAT and to apply to law schools. The recipient also will be paired with a GTTC lawyer to mentor the recipient through the application process (e.g., reviewing personal statements) and to offer a connection to the Seattle legal community while the student attends law school and beyond.

Diverse college juniors, seniors, or graduates with demonstrable financial need and plans to attend law school.
