About the CILEX Foundation Charity
The CILEX Foundation is an independent, registered charity supporting CILEX members, CILEX students and those who aspire to become CILEX Lawyers.
We help address inequality and underrepresentation in the legal sector. We do this by removing financial and social mobility barriers to legal education and career progression.
Our programmes of support ensure that more talented and aspiring lawyers are achieving their career goals.
Our funding programmes are now closed for new applications. Please speak to CILEX for information on alternative ways of funding your studies, including modular study and repayment options.
