CLEO, Inc.

The 56-year old Pre-Law Summer Institute is CLEO’s premiere program to help students prepare for the rigors of the first year of law school.  It is held annually at and hosted by an ABA-approved law school. This year the program is available for both in-person students, and online.

A limited number of full scholarships for both in-person, and online students are available.

Important: Decisions on the MCCA awards are now pending. All PLSI participants are required to make full payments for PLSI by their deadlines. The scholarship comes in the form of reimbursement to awardees after PLSI has been completed, so be sure to meet your PSLI payment deadline!
