Scholarships

Arizona Law awards two types of scholarship awards, need-based and merit-based. Additonally, external scholarships will be listed on our External Scholarship page as they are available to us.

Need-Based

• All need-based scholarships are awarded based on information from on-time FAFSA applicants.
• The College awards need-based scholarship aid to law students on a competitive basis according to guidelines which were adopted by the faculty of the College.
• The guidelines state that need-based scholarship aid shall be divided so that approximately one third is awarded to entering students and two thirds to continuing students.
• Students are eligible to be considered for aid based upon their University-determined need assessment for a maximum of six semesters, so long as they are considered to be full-time law students during those semesters.
• A detailed explanation of the guidelines for awarding need-based scholarships is published in the Student Handbook distributed to all enrolled law students.

Merit-Based

• A limited number of merit-based scholarships are awarded each year to entering students.
• Candidates are considered for merit awards as part of the admission process; no separate application is required.
• Candidates who wish to be considered for merit awards are urged to complete their admission application files by February 1. For details on these awards, applicants should contact the Assistant Dean for Admission & Financial Aid.
