The Bar Success Intervention Grant Program offers funding for interventions designed to improve bar exam passage rates among at-risk students or graduates. It aims to expand the understanding of effective programming for bar exam success that can be scaled and replicated. Eligible programs should last 12-24 months, seeking $150,000-$300,000 in funding, and target those most at risk of failing the bar exam or institutions with a pass rate below 70%. They should have clear goals, measurable objectives, and an evaluation plan. Preference is given to projects that include a control group methodology, offer long-term support, and involve collaboration with other entities.
