“I truly do not think I would have gotten into Cornell without Lex. The time spent in Madrid with the Lex Fellowship allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the law and everything surrounding it before I even entered law school.”

Rest of the fee: There are two easy ways to pay: Either, pay in full (upon signing up), or in monthly payments (between signing up and the actual program).
Financing & Aid: Alumni often deem Lex one of the highest returns on investment in their educational path. Anyone can do it, and we offer many financing options, fundraising being one of the best. Learn more about financing and aid here.

Our refund and credit policy is reason-neutral, meaning that the same policy applies to withdrawals by students or (unlikely) cancellations by Lex, whether they are related to COVID-19 or any other factor. The $900 deposit is always non-refundable, but it can carry over as program credit.
