How to accept the scholarship

Please note that the scholarship tuition discount or credit cannot be assigned or combined with any other payment incentives, discounts or credits that would result in a tuition less than the one shown for the applicable BARBRI SQE Prep course. If you have received any other gift card promotion or discounts, your approved public sector discount will be adjusted for the previously applied gift card promotions or discounts.

If a scholarship discount on the BARBRI SQE Prep course option you selected is awarded, you have 30 days to take action to secure your scholarship discount (or the payment deadline for your course, whichever is first).

Please Sign In to My BARBRI within 30 days of your scholarship issuance (or the payment deadline for your course, whichever is first), otherwise the scholarship discount on your selected BARBRI SQE Prep option may be revoked.
