SCHOLARSHIPS & FELLOWSHIPS
In the 2011-2012 academic year, Albany Law School made $6 million in scholarship awards. This support is funded by alumni, friends and other sources. The Board of Trustees established awards for entering students honoring Justice Kenneth S. MacAffer, former chairman of the Board; former deans Andrew V. Clements, Harold D. Alexander, J. Newton Fiero and Samuel M. Hesson; and Justice Isadore Bookstein, lecturer and former trustee. Dean’s scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic promise as demonstrated by an applicant’s undergraduate grade point average and score on the LSAT. Diversity scholarships support students with unusual backgrounds including those who have been historically underrepresented in the legal profession. Additional endowed, named scholarships are awarded according to provisions established in agreement between the donor and the law school. Fellowships and assistantships are also available for eligible students.
