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.  

When making scholarship decisions, the College of Law reviews each admitted applicant’s full profile in the context of that application cycle’s admitted applicant pool. Admitted students are typically notified of any scholarships awarded to them at the time of acceptance; however, timing may vary in some cases.  

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 offer. Students who are most competitive for scholarships, will be those who exceed both of our LSAT and undergraduate GPA medians. 

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.

Belmont's School Code is 003479.

Steps to Take

  1. Fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible.
  2. Law students can borrow up to $50,000 each year in Direct Unsubsidized Loans. Learn more.
