Financial Aid
Your Chicago legal education is an investment in your future. To help you make this investment, Chicago provides generous financial aid in the form of scholarships and loans. Chicago also provides financial support for students who choose to work in public interest or government with our Hormel Public Interest Program and our Summer Public Interest Funding Program.
Costs & Budget
Law School tuition for entering students in 2009-2010 is $43,998 for the nine-month academic year. The 2010-2011 budget will be posted in late spring.
How to Fund Your Law School Education
Financial aid at the University of Chicago Law School is distributed on the basis of financial need and academic achievement. Approximately half of our students receive scholarships and about eighty percent of students choose to take out loans.
Loan Repayment Assistance
Work in the public interest is a valuable and fulfilling career option, and the University of Chicago Law School is committed to making such options available for its graduates through the Hormel Public Interest Program.
Summer Funding
To demonstrate its commitment to public interest and government work, the University of Chicago Law School will provide financial support for students who engage in qualifying summer public interest or government work for four or more weeks during the summer following the first year of law school.
