The Journey to Esquire®️ Scholarship & Leadership Program provides much-needed support to students pursuing a career in law. It includes leadership training, professional development emphasizing self-care through one-on-one coaching, curated conversations, meaningful mentorship, and personalized preparation that fills the gap left by law schools.

By doing so, we prepare students fr the future of law, so that organizations like yours can retain, train, and leverage their skills to sustain the profession.

We also award thousands in scholarships each year to law students from diverse backgrounds. These funds assist our students with the high fees and costs associated with preparing for and taking the bar examination.*

With your tax-deductible donations, we can help third-year law students cover all of the additional expenses beyond tuition during the final part of their “Journey to Esquire.”

“We build a life with what we gain, but we change a life with what we give.”
