The 51²è¹ÝWCL Office of Admissions considers all applicants for merit scholarships at the time of their admission; a separate application is not required. Merit scholarships are primarily determined by applicant academic indicators (LSAT/GRE score and undergraduate GPA). Merit scholarships for part-time JD students are renewable for up to four academic years per the 51²è¹ÝWCL Merit Scholarship Policy. The Office of Admissions generally begins awarding merit scholarships in January and continues throughout the admissions process. For the last two years, more than 60% of the incoming class received merit scholarships with awards ranging from $10,000 up to full tuition.

Through the generosity of 51²è¹ÝWCL friends and alumni, dozens of named scholarships are awarded annually ranging in amounts from $1,000 to upwards of $20,000 depending on funding levels in a given year. Selection criteria for these scholarships vary. Most commonly awards are based on financial need and academic achievement.

The Restricted Scholarships require a separate application; procedures and selection criteria are announced during the fall semester with the application deadline typically 2-3 weeks after the first announcement.
