First Responder EXPEDITED ENROLLMENT PROGRAM (FREEP)

Widener Law Commonwealth is committed to providing current and former first responders with expert and expedited assistance in the law school admissions process.

To facilitate enrollment, Widener Law Commonwealth is pleased to offer the following as part of its First Responder Expedited Enrollment Program (FREEP). 

• Expedited review of your admissions application
• An array of scholarship opportunities including the Page, Wolfberg & Wirth Emergency Services Annual Scholarship
• Faculty and staff mentors with respect to course selection and career guidance
• Alumni mentors that have served or are serving as first responders

Email the admissions office at admitcwlaw@widener.edu to indicate your intention to apply to Widener Law Commonwealth via FREEP.

In the event that a first responder does not meet the law school’s ordinary admissions requirements, the law school may invite the candidate to participate in the summer Trial Admissions Program (TAP), providing the applicant with the opportunity to earn admission to the law school.

*Please note all TAP applicants must meet character and fitness requirements
