After one of our most competitive application cycles, we are proud to present our 2023-2024 class of Kirkland & Ellis Afro Scholars. With great joy, we welcome 34 exceptional incoming law students, united by their shared passion for leadership and their commitment to breaking barriers.

These scholars are entering their first year at law schools across the country and will receive one-on-one mentorship from attorneys at prominent law firms, professional development training from our career office, recruiting opportunities at our corporate sponsors, and more.

We look forward to hosting our scholars next month during our Program Kickoff in New York City.
