Financial Aid, Scholarships and Fellowships
Students are admitted to the Law School without regard to their financial need. Every attempt is made to provide full financial assistance in the form of federal and private educational loans to eligible students. Total loans, grants, and scholarships cannot exceed CU-Boulder's educational budget guidelines.
A number of scholarships, fellowships, and awards are awarded annually on a competitive basis including both academic and financial considerations. Admitted first-year students do not need to apply for specific scholarships. Scholarship recipients will be selected by the Admissions and Financial Aid Committee after an offer of admission has been made. Selection of scholarship recipients begins in January, and in most circumstances, recipients will be notified before their enrollment deposit is due. If a recipient declines a scholarship, then a new recipient is chosen. It is possible for scholarships to be awarded through the end of August.
Merit awards are based predominately on admission credentials for first-year students; and merit awards for second- and third-year students are based on law school performance and other criteria. Awards based solely or partially on financial need will take into consideration information obtained from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Please read the application directions for each scholarship very carefully. Some scholarships are open to everyone, whereas others are only open to selected class years.
Please visit this website periodically for new scholarship opportunities. We will post them as soon as we receive them.
