Bar Success Intervention Grant Program

The Bar Success Intervention Grant Program provides funding to programs and interventions aimed at helping increase bar exam passage rates among students and/or graduates most at-risk of not passing. The central goal of the Bar Success Intervention Grant Program is to increase the knowledge base about effective bar exam success programming that is scalable and replicable.

To be fundable, programs must:

• Have a duration of 12‒24 months and seek funding in the amount of $150,000‒$300,000
• Focus on law students and/or graduates most at risk of not passing the bar exam or institutions with ultimate bar examination passage rates that fall below 70%

• Include clear statements of program goals and tangible and measurable objectives
• Include an evaluation plan

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.
