You have options when it comes to financing your legal education

Law students face many challenges in financing their legal education. The financial aid process for law school is similar to that for undergraduate school. Students must file the FAFSA and complete a master promissory note for student loans. Most law students rely on the combination of scholarships, student loans, and outside benefits to fund their educational and living expenses, since federal grants are not available to law students.

Financing your legal education begins before you step into a classroom and continues after you graduate.  Prior to entering law school you should have enough money to cover the expenses of moving into an apartment: security deposit, first two months rent, utilities, food and insurance (health, car, renter鈥檚); and have sufficient available credit to cover books, a few week's worth of groceries and other expenses. 

 

• Tuition & Fees
• Cost of Attendance
  • Cost of attendance includes tuition, fees, books, living expenses and other expenses students may incur while in law school.  Your total financial aid package cannot exceed your total cost of attendance. 

Types of Available Aid

• Scholarships

• Grant for Out-of-State Students

  •  

    Some out-of-state students will receive an out-of-state student grant to compensate for the difference between the In-State and Out-of-State tuition rates. Selection is based on undergraduate GPA and LSAT score. Students will receive the grant for the first year of law school only. Please contact the Office of Law Admissions to see if you qualify and for information about changing your residency status.
