The Faculty Admissions Committee decides on a scholarship award at the time of admission. All admitted students are automatically considered for scholarships. Students who are selected as recipients of a scholarship are notified of their award via email. Scholarships are awarded based on academic merit, which includes their LSAT score and undergraduate GPA. Recognizing that the traditional indicators of LSAT score and undergraduate GPA are imperfect predictors, if the students did not receive a scholarship as first-year students, they may apply for a rising 2L scholarship. Scholarships for rising 2L students will be awarded based on their academic performance in the first year of law school. Admission application information is based on the Foreign Lawyer Program. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.

Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid at the School of Law for more information.

The Earl Warren Scholarship is awarded annually to rising law students whose commitment to racial justice reveals outstanding potential for training as civil rights and public interest attorneys. Eligible law students include those entering their first or second year of legal study at an accredited law school in the United States. The scholarship will be awarded for three years. There is no minimum test score or GPA requirement. Candidates are judged holistically and by the full sum of their achievements and contributions. Any application review will take into account a candidate's GPA, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, volunteer activities and personal essays; however, no single component of an application will determine a scholarship award. Two letters of recommendation and a copy of the applicant's LSAT score or GRE Score must be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
