Scholarships and Fellowships

Most scholarships awarded by the Law School are merit-based. Merit scholarships, which range from $5,000 to full tuition, are awarded based on applicants’ potential for outstanding contributions to the Law School, the legal profession and society. All admitted students are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, and students selected to receive these scholarships will generally be notified within two to four weeks of their admission.

Continuing students may apply to increase their scholarship amounts after the spring grades have been posted. These scholarships and grants are based on the availability of funds.

Students selected as Leadership, Business, or Advocacy Fellows will receive additional scholarship awards for the academic year, as well as stipends covering the tuition cost and a portion of living expenses for a summer externship experience.
