A FAFSA is required to be considered for federal financial aid and students must reapply annually.

More than 98 percent of incoming JD students are offered a scholarship upon admission. The award amount is decided by the Admissions Committee based on application materials. If the scholarship offer is some amount higher (or lower) than shown in the sample, Grad PLUS Loan eligibility will be that much lower (or higher).

Students with a valid FAFSA who meet the basic eligibility criteria can expect to receive a financial aid offer that fully covers their Cost of Attendance.
