Indiana University’s Wells Scholars Program and the Maurer School of Law have announced a new program which will allow accepted Wells Scholars students to finish both an undergraduate and law degree in six years, as opposed to the standard seven.
Students accepted to the Maurer-Wells 3+3 will begin studying law in their fourth year of undergraduate education, according to a press release from the University. The Wells Scholarship, named after IU’s renowned eleventh president Herman B Wells, covers the full cost of attendance for accepted undergraduate students.
Wells Scholars already receive living stipends. Maurer-Wells 3+3 students aren’t expected to incur any tuition expenses throughout their six years of study.
"The Maurer-Wells 3+3 Program is another way for the law school to attract the best and brightest students, while enabling them to meet their educational goals at little or no expense," said Austen L. Parrish, law schooldean and James H. Rudy Professor of Law in the release. "IU's Wells Scholars have honored the university with distinguished careers in nearly every profession, and we look forward to welcoming them into the law school community."
