Our mission is to provide Black women with the tools, knowledge and confidence to achieve their legal aspirations. Legally BLK Fund’s vision is that Black women have the opportunity to succeed in the law school application process and beyond.

The Legally BLK Fund supports Black women as they work to enter the legal profession, beginning at the law school application process. We believe that Black women attorneys have played a pivotal role in our history and will continue to do so. Supporting the next generation of Black female attorneys begins with shedding light on the often unseen barriers Black applicants face and addressing such barriers. We are working to do just that but we cannot do it alone.
