Applying for Financial Aid
Students are eligible to receive aid (scholarships, loans, VA benefits, etc.) up to their established cost-of-attendance budget. (A student’s cost-of-attendance budget includes tuition and fees plus a reasonable amount for room and board, books/supplies, and miscellaneous expenses for the academic year). The maximum amount allocated for room and board, books/supplies, and miscellaneous expenses in 2019-20 is $23,946.
For students who first enrolled in the fall 2018 semester or term after, per semester tuition is $20,550 for full-time J.D. students and $16,512 for part-time J.D. students. For students who entered prior to fall 2018, per semester tuition is $20,298 for full-time J.D. students and $16,309 for part-time J.D. students. All students pay an annual Student Bar Association fee of $120. Beginning fall 2017, and any start term thereafter, each newly enrolled first-year student, and any entering transfer student classified as a first-year student, will pay a Student Success Fee of $914. Students who enroll in the spring semester will also pay the per semester tuition rate for their second semester (summer term).
