CILEX, the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, has awarded £123,000 in scholarships and bursaries in 2025, with seven students given scholarships worth up to £13,200 each. The recipients include a former prosecutor in Ukraine
The scholarships cover the training costs of becoming a fully qualified CILEX Lawyer.
Two other students received Launchpad to Law awards, joining the Millicent Grant Career Enhancing Programme which funds the first year of study for those with minimal or no legal experience.
Ian Hunt, chair of the CILEX Foundation, said: ‘CILEX has a long history of opening up legal careers to those traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession.’
