The College of Law has a generous scholarship program. Admitted students are considered for merit awards as part of the admissions process; no separate application is necessary. Starting with the entering class of 2012, all merit-based scholarships are subject to a 50% reduction if the recipient is not ranked in the top 90% of the recipient's class at the end of each academic year. Certain named scholarships may have additional requirements.
| Year of Matriculation | # Entering with Conditional Scholarships | # Whose Conditional Scholarships were Reduced or Eliminated |
| 2011 | 6 | 0 |
| 2010 | 13 | 1 |
| 2009 | 11 | 2 |
*A conditional scholarship is any scholarship offer the retention of which is dependent upon the student maintaining a minimum grade point average or class standing, other than that ordinarily required to maintain in good academic standing.
Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance is the University's estimate of your academic year expenses. It includes charges billed directly to you (tuition and fees), as well as an estimated budget of indirect expenses (room/board, books and supplies, travel, miscellaneous, and loan fees). Although you may be awarded financial aid up to the cost of attendance, you may choose to borrow less.
