The law school awards a variety of scholarships, grants, and endowments as listed below. Usually, one best award is made to students who qualify.
All awards are made for the academic year, fall and spring semesters; typically no awards are made for the summer semester.
All awards are made before the start of the academic year, usually ending in July. Awarded students are notified via email. General and Partnership awards are posted to student accounts immediately and no further requirement is needed. Endowed and Named awards may require additional student action, which will be communicated via the notification email.
Scholarship Types
Endowed awards are provided to the law school as approved by the university on an annual basis. Awarding amounts, as determined by the performance of the endowments, vary from year to year. Most endowments entail specific criterion and the law school will award based upon academic standing and demonstrated leadership. Endowments are typically awarded to continuing students and are non-renewable.
General law school awards are available to most students who satisfy specific award criterion. Funds are provided via the law school's financial aid budget; therefore, funding is limited and is typically exhausted by the beginning of the academic year. Most awards renew per the stated criterion.
Named awards entail very specific criterion and may require an essay and/or faculty recommendation.
Partnership scholarships require prior affiliation with the named ministry, including a letter of recommendation from the current staff member of the ministry chapter in which the student participated. Awards are typically made as students enter law school and include renewal requirements.
Outside Scholarships are typically available for students any affiliation with an organization, company, community and/or church may be a good resource for financial assistance. View Privately Funded Scholarships and External Private Scholarships.
