Scope of Letter of Inquiry (LOI) Form
The LOI form is designed to elicit brief information about the proposed program to the Bar Success Research Grant Program. Character limitations may require strategic decisions about information included in the LOI. Provided information should focus on program components for which grant funds are being sought, though additional contextual information may be provided as space permits.
All fields on the LOI form require a response. Given the competitive nature of the process, not every LOI applicant will be invited to submit a full grant proposal. Proposals featuring all required elements and some optional elements are more likely to be invited to submit a full grant proposal.
