Scholarships

Admitted J.D. students are automatically considered for first-year scholarships, which are all merit-based awards.

No scholarships are available for entering transfer, transient, or LL.M. students.

Beginning in April 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.

Students at the School of Law will be made aware of external scholarship opportunities as they become available. Applications are normally available on the Web or at the information table inside the Dean’s Office.

Note: These scholarships are not awarded by The University of Akron or by the School of Law. They are funded and awarded by external organizations.
