Sample Communications For Announcing MAX At Your School
Dear Colleagues,
We’re a MAX school!
As we know, many students lack a framework for making good financial decisions, which can impact every aspect of their personal and professional future. That’s why we have implemented MAX by AccessLex®, a first-of-its-kind, multi-faceted personal finance program designed exclusively for law students by our partners in financial education, AccessLex Institute®, the largest nonprofit organization in the country focusing on access, affordability and the value of legal education. Befitting AccessLex Institute’s nonprofit mission, the program comes at no cost to our institution or our students.
We join more than 170 ABA-approved law schools already using this research and outcomes-based program that combines interactive online lessons, webinars, in-person workshops, one-on-one counseling and more to leverage the strengths of law students and address their weaknesses, while fitting into their demanding schedules.
MAX complements the work we are already doing to educate our students on their financial matters by providing learning paths with defined goals and by delivering invaluable content in digestible segments. MAX also includes scholarship incentives to keep students motivated and on task. This academic year, AccessLex will award $330,000 through scholarship drawings for students engaged in the program.
MAX by AccessLex® is available for all our first-year law students. Structured as a building block program, learning modules evolve as our students progress through their journeys.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this exciting new program for our students!
