The Kearney Law Opportunities Program (KLOP) is a partnership between the University of Nebraska at Kearney and the University of Nebraska College of Law designed to recruit students from rural areas and train them to become lawyers that will return and practice in their communities. The KLOP application is open now through November 15, 2021.
Participants receive their bachelor’s degrees at UNK and are then guaranteed admittance, provided minimum requirements are met, to the Nebraska College of Law at UNL. Students selected for KLOP will receive a full tuition scholarship to UNK for up to 120 credit hours.
