Additional tips to pay for law school
Federal financial aid for law students
It’s common for law students to apply for federal student aid through the FAFSA as a first step to financing a law school education. If you need additional funds to cover books, transportation, groceries, and other life expenses, you can apply for a private loan as an additional financial source.
Scholarships for law students
You can also apply for law school scholarships through your school or scholarships available through the American Bar Association (ABA) and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Additional scholarships can be found on the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) website.
Ascent also offers scholarship opportunities to students in undergraduate, graduate, or bootcamp study. We award more than $80,000 in scholarship funds each year, so be sure to check in on our current scholarships.
