So your social and economic situation will be taken into consideration if you apply for a bursary.

Each Lawscot Foundation scholar is entitled to the following:
- £2,750 bursary for each year of your legal study (totalling £13,750 upon completion of your legal study)
- a mentor from the legal profession for the duration of your study
