Pathway to Law Initiative

The program is free. You do need to provide your own way to Madison, WI.

There are a few travel scholarships available. If you need one, contact the program coordinator, Kristen Talbert, at krtalber@asu.edu.

If you’re considering applying for the Native American Pathway to Law Initiative, you need to have your resume, your statement of interest, your diversity statement and your CIB (if you have one). If you have a copy of your CIB, the front and back need to be added and make sure that it is not expired.
