Who Should Apply

Thomas More Scholarship applicants should evidence a strong social concern for the welfare of others, as demonstrated through a history of volunteer service and other activities.

Academic achievement, life and work experience are all considered in an effort to evaluate an applicant’s ability to successfully carry a full academic load and participate in Thomas More Scholarship Program activities.

Selected applicants typically achieved undergraduate GPAs of 3.5 or higher and LSAT scores in the top quartile.

Prior to attending law school, our Scholars have served as teachers, musicians, and nurses, as well as parents and spouses and in dozens of other roles. Many have also served as members of Peace Corps, the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Teach For America, the Lutheran Volunteer Corps, branches of the U.S. military, AVODAH (the Jewish service corps), and similar organizations.
