"MSP is like family" Jamal 2009 

The Multicultural Scholars' Programme (MSP) has been running at Warwick Law School since 2005. MSP is a unique model in the UK and has gained considerable support from the legal sector. The scheme is open to UK students of Pakistani, Bangladeshi, African or Caribbean origin whose household income entitles them to a full maintenance grant. Scholars must also fulfil the academic entry requirements for the Law School. The goal of MSP is simple – to educate very bright students from non-traditional backgrounds to achieve their true potential by providing a supportive environment and the opportunity to succeed.

Scholarships. Scholars receive a bursary for the duration of their studies

Professional Links. Many world class law firms support the MSP as do other law related agencies providing.

• Mentoring
• Training
• placements

Vacation Scheme. Every scholar has the opportunity to pursue study abroad or to undertake a specific vacation project during his/her period of study at Warwick Law School

Friendships. Scholars have mentors within the scheme and engage in a framework of mutual support

Giving Back. Scholars are encouraged to give back to the scheme by helping with its organisation, making professional links, helping with other scholars' academic work

In the scholars' own words ...

"I am lucky enough to be a part of the Multicultural Scholarship Programme and it has become an important part of my life at Warwick. It is fabulous scheme where I have made some friends for life. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all involved. It has certainly made life at Warwick more enjoyable in more ways than one and I have no doubt the scheme will continue to help students for many years to come."
