Law School Scholarships
The Law School offers more than 100 merit and need-based scholarships. For the 2023-24 academic year, 94% of the student body receive some financial aid in the form of grants and scholarships.
Everyone who applies to the Law School is considered for merit-based scholarships. Scholarships awarded by the Law School to admitted applicants are awarded for three consecutive years of study at the Law School. To retain scholarship eligibility, students are required to maintain good academic standing.
To be eligible to apply for Federal Student Loans and to be considered for a need-based scholarship award, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (William & Mary's title IV code is 003705).
All scholarships are awarded based on a student’s residency status at the time of admission. If a student is subsequently granted in-state tuition, their scholarship will be adjusted to the appropriate award under the in-state scholarship model. Because in-state and out-of-state tuition and scholarship structures differ, the adjusted award may not be directly proportional to the student’s original scholarship amount.
Note: William & Mary Law School scholarships cannot exceed the total cost of tuition nor can the total of scholarships and loans exceed the total Cost of Attendance. If you receive military funding or external scholarships that, combined with your scholarship award, total an excess of the yearly total cost of attendance as published in admission publications, your scholarship will be reduced accordingly.
