Law School Scholarships. The Law School offers more than 50 merit and need-based scholarships. Everyone who applies to the Law School is considered for merit-based scholarships. If you want to be considered for a need-based scholarship, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (William & Mary's title IV code is 003705).

Law School Fellowships. We offer fellowships under the aegis of the Institute of Bill of Rights Law, the Election Law Program, the Center for Legal and Court Technology, and The Wolf Law Library. Please indicate your interest in these fellowships by completing Question 35 of our application. We also encourage you to indicate in Question 35 if you are interested in participating in a civic leadership program known as the George Wythe Society of Citizen Lawyers. Additionally, students who enroll in the JD/MPP joint degree program may be eligible to receive a Bolin Fellowship.

Other Scholarship Sources. We suggest you visit your local library or your college’s pre-law office to look into scholarships offered by charitable and civic groups to support graduate education.
