New Student Scholarships

Each year we offer scholarships to as many of the most qualified applicants as possible. Awards are made at the time of admission and will be included in the notification of admission. Last year, the School of Law offered scholarships and grants to 67% of admitted applicants. The average award for in-state was $10,000 and $24,000 for out-of-state students.

We are committed to providing all scholarship recipients who enroll with the opportunity to maintain their scholarship throughout law school. The number of first-year students receiving a scholarship will never exceed the number of all first-year students at or above the required GPA. This has been our practice since the creation of the UBalt Law Scholarship. The GPA requirement to retain a scholarship award for students granted fall admission is 2.75.

Scholarships are applied to law tuition only and may not be applied to fees. Half of the annual award amount is applied to the fall and spring semesters. Please contact the Office of Law Admissions with any questions.

In-State Tuition for Non-Residents

Some residents of surrounding states qualify for in-state tuition through the School of Law's Regional Tuition Rate.

Grants 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. Please contact the Office of Law Admissions to see if you qualify and for information about changing your residency status.

Membership in the society includes a scholarship.
