Baylor2Baylor Law Program
Each year, Baylor Law School selects six highly talented freshmen to join the Baylor2Baylor Law School Program. This program guarantees admission into Baylor Law provided students meet the academic criteria when they complete their undergraduate degree and apply to the Law School. Selection into the program carries with it a scholarship of $10,000 per academic year toward a Baylor undergraduate degree and at least $21,000 per academic year (3 quarters) toward a Baylor Law degree.
While these Scholars are completing their undergraduate degrees at Baylor, the Law School gets to know them by hosting events with Baylor Law faculty each semester. Recently, Professors Bridget Fuselier and Jim Underwood hosted a lunch for the Baylor2Baylor Law Scholars. Following lunch, the students observed a Practice Court mini trial.
Sic 'em, Baylor2Baylor Law Scholars!
