How to Fund Your Law School Education
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.
Financial aid at the University of Chicago Law School is distributed on the basis of academic achievement, with consideration to need. Approximately half of our students receive scholarships and about eighty percent of students choose to take out loans.
Chicago also provides financial assistance to students who choose to work in public interest or government with our Loan Repayment Assistance Program and our Summer Public Interest Funding Program.
Scholarships
Every student admitted to the University of Chicago Law School is automatically considered for scholarships.
Loans
The Student Loan Administration processes and disburses all Law School student loans. To apply for loans, students must submit the FAFSA and the University of Chicago Graduate Loan and Work Study Application. The priority deadline for submitting these materials is May 30.
