The Diversity Pathway Intervention Grant Program provides funding to programs and initiatives aimed at helping college students and/or college graduates from historically underrepresented groups successfully matriculate into law school and the legal profession. The central goal of the Diversity Pathway Intervention Grant Program is to increase the knowledge base around effective methods for increasing the enrollment and success of law students from historically underrepresented racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Accordingly, we seek to fund collaborative programs that provide participants with meaningful content and experiences as well as holistic support.

Programs that also encompass the following optional elements will be given preference in the selection process:

  • Differential treatment of participants (treatment/control group methodology) for purposes of program evaluation
  • Relevant long-term support for participants
  • Collaboration with other institutions, organizations, etc.
