Discover Law Undergraduate Scholars Program

Each June, the School of Law welcomes approximately 20 academically-promising college students to campus for the residential program. The program is intended for undergraduates from underrepresented and/or under-resourced backgrounds, including students who are first-generation college students, are Pell-eligible, military veterans, or economically disadvantanged according to income guidelines set by the New York State Education Department. These students are undergraduates who have completed their freshman or sophomore year, but who have not commenced their junior year before the end of the program.

As Discover Law Scholars, they spend four weeks attending courses with UB Law faculty, staff, and alumni; all while building a community of peers and mentors.

“My professional and academic perspective will never be the same.”  adds Johnniel Morales, a 2021 Discover Law Scholar.  “And also my heart and soul, thanks to what the Discover Law program was capable of bringing out of me.”

The Discover Law program is just one way the School of Law is working to create pathways to law school and the legal field. This program is at no cost to participants; thus, your continued support is needed to keep this pathway open. Funding allows students to travel from across the country to participate, worry-free. Please consider donating to support this program.
