Scholarships
The College of Law operates a tuition remission scholarship program for entering students. All admitted applicants are automatically under scholarship consideration; there is no separate application process. The scholarship evaluation process will begin December 15, and award notifications will begin January 15.
Scholarship eligibility is determined by the admitted applicant’s LSAT profile and undergraduate academic record. Multiple LSAT scores will be averaged and the trend of multiple scores will be considered. The major of study and undergraduate institution will be considered when evaluating the undergraduate academic record. Students who are mostcompetitive for scholarships will have academic credentials meeting or exceeding both LSAT and GPA median goals for the upcoming entering class.
The College of Law operates from a scholarship budget and allocates awards accordingly. Scholarships are limited in number, so not all admitted applicants will receive an award offer even if academic credentials may indicate eligibility.
Federal Financial Aid
Pell grants are not available to law students; however, law students may apply for Federal Loans. A maximum of $50,000 is available in Direct loans.
