Applications now being Accepted for 2022 ¡Ándale! Scholarship

The Nevada Latino Bar Association (the “LBA”) is proud to present its fourth annual ¡Ándale! Scholarship. According to the Hispanic National Bar Association, while making up 18% of the U.S. population, Latinos/Latinx/Hispanics comprise only 5% of the nation’s lawyers. As part of its mission, the LBA is dedicated to increasing representation and diversity in the legal profession. An important part of meeting this goal is increasing the number of Latino/Latinx/Hispanic students entering law school.

The LBA ¡Ándale! Scholarship includes registration for an LSAT prep course ($1,299 value), one LSAT examination application fee ($200 value), the Credential Assembly Service fee ($195 value), and one LSAT law school report ($45 value). The LBA will work with the awardees and tender payment for fees directly to the course provider and reimburse students for the LSAT fees listed.
