The scheme is worth up to £12,500

The CILEX Foundation has opened its scholarship and bursary programme to new applicants. Launched in 2021, the CILEX Foundation’s CILEX Lawyer Scholarship covers the cost of studying for the CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) and becoming a fully qualified CILEX Lawyer. To be eligible for a scholarship, worth up to £12,500, applicants must show their finances and particular circumstances make it challenging for them to access professional legal qualifications. Support is targeted at those under-represented in the legal profession and/or from a socially disadvantaged background.
