Financial Aid at Columbia  21
Financial Aid at Columbia The following information is intended to provide you with a brief introduction to financial aid at Columbia Law School. For more detailed information about the various financial aid options available, please refer to the full description of programs provided on the Financial Aid Office’s website (www.law. columbia.edu/finaid). Financing a legal education can be a challenge, but we in the Financial Aid Office are available to assist you in preparing to meet it. We are committed to clarifying the process of applying for financial aid so that you may completely explore the various options that may exist for funding your legal education. We encourage you to read this Financial Aid section carefully and use it as a reference guide to help explore every avenue of funding that may be available to you. Columbia Law School awards grant assistance primarily on the basis of demonstrated financial need. However, there are a number of fellowships
that are not based on financial need which are awarded by the Admissions Office at the time an applicant is admitted to the Law School. There is no separate application for these fellowships. If you need further information after you review this section, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our major responsibilities include evaluating applications for financial aid, processing loan applications, and counseling students on how to manage the ever-increasing costs of a legal education. Please let us know whenever we can help you with any financial aid matters as you make your way toward a place in the legal profession.
