 Six students receive LSAT prep scholarships from Warner Norcross

Six minority students have received Law School Admissions Test Preparation, or LSAT, scholarships from Warner Norcross and Judd LLP.

Now in its seventh year, the program provides scholarships to enable selected minority
 
students at Michigan colleges to attend a study course designed to prepare them to take the LSAT.  Studies have shown that students who take a formal LSAT prep course score higher on the test, which determines entrance into law school. 

The 2014 scholarship winners are:

—Destiny M. Carter, University of Michigan

—Brenda Garcia, Grand Valley State University

—Marlin Guiterrez McCoy, University of Michigan

—Sandy N. Nguyen, Grand Valley State University

—Baltazar Nuñez-Aguado, Hope College

—Kashira Doné Patterson, University of Michigan.

The LSAT program is one of two scholarship initiatives offered by the firm to promote diversity in the legal profession.  Warner Norcross also sponsors a Minority Scholar-
ship Program that provides financial support to a selected law, paralegal and legal secretarial student.
