Baylor2 Law Program

Each year, Baylor Law selects six highly-talented freshmen to join the Baylor2 Law Program. This program guarantees admission into Baylor Law provided students meet the academic criteria. Selection into the program carries with it a $40,000 scholarship ($10,000 per year for four years of undergraduate study at Baylor University) and a full-tuition scholarship toward a Baylor Law School degree.

Interested students should apply for the program. Finalists are selected to attend an interview day to compete for a spot in the program.
