All applicants for admission are reviewed for merit scholarship awards; no separate application is required for consideration. Merit scholarships are selective awards based on outstanding LSAT or GRE scores, undergraduate academic performance, and academic promise. The Admissions Committee determines the awards and notifies recipients near the time of admission. JD Students entering in Fall 2023 received merit scholarship awards ranging from $5,000 to full tuition and over 95% received scholarship funds. Merit scholarships are renewable by maintaining required GPA standards or designated class rank. The amount and terms of renewal are provided to students upon award.
