Applications for Gray’s Inn’s GDL Scholarships are now open. If you are considering a career as a barrister, this is an opportunity to receive the recognition and financial support to fast-track your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This year we will award at least 25 GDL Scholarships to support students undertaking any full or part time law conversion course. We are also launching a new GDL Double Scholarship<\/a>. This scholarship will offer aspiring barristers undertaking their law conversion course sustained financial support through both the academic (GDL) and vocational (Bar Course) components of Bar training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All GDL scholars will receive at least \u00a32,500, with further, means-tested, financial support available. Our GDL scholars are automatically eligible for a number of additional benefits when applying for a Bar Course Scholarship. If you are successful in securing a Double Scholarship, a financial award of \u00a310,000 is guaranteed, and can rise to as much as \u00a340,000 through our established means-tested process. Double Scholars will also be eligible to apply for a Residential Scholarship, in advance of their Bar course studies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You can read more here<\/a> about the financial support available for all GDL Scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. You can contact them directly at scholarships@graysinn.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full details: Apply by midnight on Friday 1 May<\/strong>. <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
