Annual Scholarship Programmes
Research has shown that an individual’s gender, ethnicity and class greatly affect the number of obstacles they will face in achieving a professional legal qualification. With this in mind, BPP operate a number of Scholarship places for exceptional individuals demonstrating a strong desire and level of commitment to qualifying within the legal field, but who without support would find it difficult to attain their dream.
It is our hope that these scholarships will assist talented individuals to overcome the odds, whether they are social, educational, financial, a disability or unusual family circumstances, in order to increase the diversity within the legal field, enhancing the profession as a whole.
The deadline for applications for a programme commencing in 2007 is 5pm on 1st August 2007.
