The Bridging the Gap scholarship set me up for true success at the start of my law school journey. The scholarship provided me access to crucial resources during the admissions process. Most importantly, the scholarship program provided me with the unique opportunity to connect with successful Black law students whose mentorship was truly invaluable.

It's not often law students make it their duty to prepare the next class of law students with their financial resources and time. Having current law students at the time pour into us and share all of their knowledge as they were going through the challenges of law school helped me to face the reality of law school head on and to know that excelling in the legal field as a student and professional was more than possible.

Our Mission

Bridging The Gap Scholarship (“BTG”) is modeled on the principle of increasing minority representation in the AmLaw 100, the world’s largest law firms (commonly referred to as “Big Law”). BTG aspires to pioneer action towards increasing diversity and inclusivity in AmLaw 100 ranked firms in the USA modeled by the data published in the 2021 American Bar Association Statistical Report and the 2021 National Association for Law Placement which shows that minority associates represent less than 7% of AmLaw firms.
