Minority + Low Income Assistance

Minority Students

In accord with its commitment to extend opportunities in education to all qualified students, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, or disability, and being cognizant of the underrepresentation of minorities within the legal profession, Loyola has established a fund to assist minorities in obtaining a legal education. Applicants should consult the Dean of Admissions for more information on this program at (504) 861-5575.

Low Income Students

The Council on Legal Education Opportunity (CLEO) conducts summer tutorial programs at a variety of law schools each year to assist students of "low income" or "disadvantaged background" to obtain entrance into law school. Those students successfully completing the program will, upon enrollment in law school, be awarded by CLEO an annual living stipend.

For more information students should contact: CLEO, 740 15th St. NW, 9th Floor, Washington, DC 20005. Phone: (202) 216-4343. E-mail: cleo@abanet.org. Or visit the CLEO website at www.cleoscholars.com. Minority students may also wish to contact the Earl Warren Legal Training Program, Inc., 10 Columbus Circle, New York, NY 10019 for further information concerning the availability of assistance.
