Financing Your Education

With over 100 named scholarships and more than 100 percent growth in financial aid over the past decade, Penn Carey Law is fully invested in your future. We are committed to guiding our applicants through the financial aid process and to helping our students develop a sound financial plan for their legal education. We provide generous financial assistance to qualified students through a variety of grants, scholarships, and loans. Importantly, admission decisions at Penn Carey Law are made without regard to an applicant’s financial need. Therefore, financial aid applications are reviewed only after a student has been admitted.

Penn Carey Law awards merit scholarships to a select number of students based primarily on their academic achievements and intellectual ambition, but also based on nonacademic factors such as leadership, service, and professional or life experiences.

In addition to the aforementioned grants and scholarships, there are a variety of federal and private loans for which students may be eligible.

As part of our dedication to promoting the pursuit of public interest careers, Penn Carey Law also offers several sources of funding for select students who have demonstrated a commitment to public service, and a generous loan repayment assistance program after graduation.
