Are you a prospective reader? Are you planning to sit the Bar Exam in 2026? Are you looking at that $795 exam registration fee and feeling as nervous as we are?

Well do we have some good news for you! DWL is delighted to announce the launch of the 2026 Bar Exam Scholarship competition for 2026 DWL members!

This is an opportunity for you to reflect on the importance of mentors in the profession. All that is required is a 750 word essay on how a role model or mentor has shaped your vision for your career at the Bar. The winner will be reimbursed for their Bar exam registration fee and have the opportunity to publish their submission in DWL's annual journal.
