BPP scholarship programmes
Research has shown that an individual’s gender, ethnicity and class greatly affect the number of obstacles they are likely to face in achieving a professional legal qualification. With this in mind, BPP offers 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 and enhance the profession as a whole.
