Angelos Scholars Program Requirements
The Fannie Angelos Program is an academic talent-search, looking for bright, hard-working students from Maryland’s historically black colleges and universities and the University of Baltimore who want to attend law school. Before you apply, please note the following:
If accepted into the Program, you will spend January through August studying to take the August LSAT. If you are successful on the LSAT and in all other requirements for gaining admission into law school, the earliest that you could begin law school is fall of the following year. (For example if you take the August 2024 LSAT, you would apply for admission for Fall 2025.)
You can only apply to the Program if you are a junior, senior, alumni or graduate student from Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Morgan State University, University of Baltimore , or University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Applicants must have at least a 3.0 cumulative (undergraduate only) GPA. If your cumulative undergraduate GPA is below 3.0, you can submit an explanation for why you believe your undergraduate grades do not reflect your ability to achieve as a student.
Apply now.
Success in the Fannie Angelos Program requires a serious commitment of time. The Program must be your number one priority and you will need to make sacrifices in every other area in your life. Success requires you to follow an intense study regimen and to be present at every session from January to August. Success also requires you to work closely with others. Virtual classes meet twice weekly in the evenings. On many Saturdays, there will either be a 3 ½ hour practice test or a professional development meeting. There will also be one-hour individual tutoring sessions and group meetings throughout the week. In addition, students must put in 15-20 study hours each week. Please only apply if you are willing to put in the required amount of time. If you do not commit the required time, you will be dismissed from the Program.
