“While making up 18% of our country’s population, Hispanics comprise only about 5% of the nation’s lawyers,” the Nevada Latino Bar Association said. “A significant barrier for many Hispanics who wish to pursue a legal education is their inability to afford an LSAT preparation course, which would lead to higher LSAT scores and ultimate[ly] a higher chance of getting accepted into law school.”

The annual race raises funds to help Latino college students pay for LSAT preparation courses through the ¡Andale! Scholarship. Last year, $100,000 was raised, funding 17 scholarships. The scholarship application deadline is 9/10/22
