Scholarships
Scholarships for Entering Students
Admitted J.D. students are automatically considered for first-year scholarships, which are awarded on the basis of the contents of the admission application. The Admissions Committee considers the same factors when awarding scholarships as when making admissions decisions.
No scholarships are available for entering transfer, transient, or LL.M. students.
Scholarships for Upper-Division Students
Beginning in late spring of the first year, students may apply for upper-division scholarships, which typically range in value from $500 to $3,000 and are based on a combination of academic merit and financial need.
