The AUWCL Office of Financial Aid offers a limited number of need-based grants to qualifying full-time JD students who plan to utilize federal loans to pay for law school. Grants are available to U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens as defined by .聽Full-tuition scholarship recipients are not eligible to apply.聽

Eligibility for the need-based grant is determined by analyzing data from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA - March 1 deadline), along with other institutional financial aid and/or external resources. While we do not expect parents to contribute to law school, historical financial aid information from the FAFSA is reviewed for all applicants regardless of age, marital status or dependents in order to gain a sense of the socioeconomic background the student is coming from and to gauge systemic need. This is most commonly demonstrated by receipt of a full federal Pell Grant during undergraduate studies.

Supplemental information will be requested of prospective AUWCL students who meet initial need-based criteria (see How to Apply聽for more information).

Grant recipients must maintain full-time enrollment (12 credits per fall/spring semester), comply with program rules, and are limited to three years of support. Recipients must utilize their full Direct Stafford Loan eligibility ($20,500) each year to be considered for the need-based grant, and the AUWCL Financial Aid Office will revoke grants for students who do not exhaust their full Direct Stafford Loan eligibility. For those who qualify, the annual award typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000.

Currently enrolled 1L and 2L full-time JD students should submit the FAFSA prior to the March 1 deadline. Additional information will be emailed directly from our office to those who may qualify for assistance.
