The program also offers scholarship incentives, awarding students who engage with its lessons and tools.

DeVincenzi and McKenna were selected as scholarship recipients for their participation in the program, which empowers law students with the knowledge they need to navigate student loans, budgeting and financial planning.

"AccessLex has been an invaluable resource throughout my law school journey, equipping me with essential financial planning tools for both my education and plans post-graduation,” said DeVincenzi.  “The online webinars are a great complement to the AccessLex courses, featuring knowledgeable presenters who enhance understanding and provide deeper insights into long-term financial security.”

As the first person in my family to attend graduate school, I will utilize what I’ve learned from AccessLex about planning for and managing loan repayment for years to come. I’m grateful that my peers and I have access to such an invaluable resource for law students!”
