Scholarships and Grants

The term “financial aid” is often used to refer to one or both of two different sources for financing legal education. One source is scholarships or grants—that is, awards that do not have to be repaid by a student. A scholarship or grant might be solely need-based, solely merit-based, or a combination of both.

A second source is loans—public or private. Loan information can be found on a separate web page.

This page provides you with information about scholarships and grants.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS

Tuition Waiver - Awarded to Members of Inaugural Class Only

After the Board of Regents set the initial tuition at the rate of $14,040 for 30 credit hours, the College of Law approved a grant (in the form of a tuition waiver) of $1,500 per academic year (30 hours credit) for resident full-time students and $1,125 per academic year (24 hours credit) for resident part-time students, as applicable. The tuition waiver is intended to pay towards eligible tuition costs and fees. If an inaugural class student has received a waiver or an exemption that pays all tuition and fees, that student may not be eligible for the tuition waiver. If you have questions about your eligibility, please visit the Waivers and Exemptions web page or contact Student Financial Services.
