About Law Equity Scholarships

Our society needs and deserves talented, committed lawyers from all backgrounds, as representative as those that they serve.

The Law Equity Scholarships programme supports commencing UTS undergraduate Law students who have a demonstrated financial need for support during their studies. 

The Scholarships provide one Bachelor of Laws student (single or combined degree) with $20,000 cash and access to a Mentor over their four-year degree.

The programme is making great strides in ensuring UTS Law students can access support, with seven undergraduate Law students with demonstrated financial need receiving support during their studies since 2011. 

In the words of our 2019 Scholar Maximilien Saker, who recently achieved 3 High Distinctions and 1 Distinction in his first semester results: “receiving the scholarship was like a weight lifting from my shoulders”.
