Admissions Merit Scholarships
The Admissions Committee considers all admitted students for merit-based scholarships at the time of their admission to the law school. Merit-based scholarship awards are included with the admission notification. No application is required to be considered for an admissions merit scholarship.
Students who receive an admissions merit scholarship may use the scholarship funds to pay tuition, room and board, or other educational costs, and may receive the funds in conjunction with financial aid from other sources.
