ADMISSIONS

Scholarships

The University of St. Thomas School of Law administers a scholarship program for students with outstanding academic records or who are particularly likely to contribute to the school’s mission.

The School of Law does not designate a specific number of scholarships to be awarded in an academic year, but instead awards scholarship from a broad pool of scholarship monies. In awarding scholarships to students, our goal is to use the pool of money to attract and reward students who may bring a strong academic background, a unique view point, and/or a dynamic experiential voice. It is also our goal to attract students who bring ethnic and cultural diversity to our law school community.

There is no separate application other than the law school admissions application, and all students are considered for scholarship at the time they apply to the University of St. Thomas School of Law. Students that are awarded a scholarship will be notified as part of a positive admissions decision.

The criteria for receiving a scholarship are the same as those used for admitting a student to the School of Law. Applications are reviewed on a whole file basis with attention paid to those students who display broad strength in a combination of the LSAT, undergraduate GPA, and mission fit.

All scholarships are offered on a three-year basis, meaning that students retain the scholarship provided they remain in good academic standing.
