See our Scholarships page.

Typically, admitted students are notified of any scholarships awarded to them at the time of acceptance.

Q: My scholarship letter says I must remain in "good standing" in order to retain my scholarship. What does that mean?
A: Please see the Student Handbook for information on good standing.

Applicants are also encouraged to explore our list of outside scholarship opportunities. Although not exhaustive, a list is also available through the Law School Admission Council.

While it is not a scholarship program, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program may be a good option for you. The PSLF Program forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after you have made 120 qualifying monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer. Visit the program page to learn more.
