For the fall 2026 admissions cycle, prospective University of Georgia School of Law students with qualifying academic credentials can apply for admission without taking the Law School Admission Test or Graduate Record Exam.
This new admissions pathway reflects the school’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to a legal education for students across the state of Georgia.
“This program offers an important opportunity for individuals who may lack access to LSAT or GRE preparation resources and helps address financial barriers commonly associated with applying to law school,” said Xavier Brown, assistant dean for admissions and strategic initiatives.
Admitted students will automatically qualify for a $5,000 merit scholarship.
“The launch of the USG Scholars program truly reflects our school’s vision of matching excellence with access,” said Usha Rodrigues, dean of UGA School of Law. “USG institutions are dedicated to advancing the prosperity of all Georgians, our state and our nation through the power of education. As Georgia’s flagship law school, we are building on this dedication by removing barriers to access and preparing well-rounded graduates who are ready to serve both state and society.”
Qualifying academic credentials include a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.5 and a score at or above the 85th percentile nationally on either the SAT or ACT.
