Students apply for Phase I as sophomores and attend the Academy during the summer between their sophomore and junior years. Students enroll in Phase II during the summer after their junior year and before their senior year. Students who complete the SLSPA receive the UTSA Certificate in Legal Reasoning. The cost of each SLSPA course is as that of any other undergraduate course at the UTSA. Admittance is on competitive basis.

Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO)
This is a great summer program for students who are 0-L --that is, people who are already admitted to law school but not yet attending. It is nationally competitive and requires letters of recommendation.
Founded in 1963 during the height of the modern Civil Rights Movement, SEO began as a mentoring and college preparation program for underprivileged high school students in New York City. The organization's mission was based upon the conviction that all students can succeed when given access to opportunities. Since 1980, SEO has provided underrepresented students of color with paid summer internships leading to full-time jobs. More than 30 years later, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans are still underrepresented in many top entry level jobs. SEO’s Law program is the only program of its kind to offer 0L (pre-law school students) an opportunity to intern with a top firm. Interns will observe and experience first-hand the day-to-day duties and responsibilities of corporate attorneys at some of the nation’s most prestigious firms.
Applications are due in early March, prior to the start of law school in fall.
