Scholarships

Your completed application for admission serves as your application for scholarship. Scholarships are awarded to incoming first-year students based on the merit of their application. Applicants awarded a merit-based scholarship will be notified by the Office of Admission at the time of their acceptance. Scholarships will be renewed each semester as long as the student remains in good academic standing.

Students ranked in the top 10 percent after completing their first year of law school at Saint Louis University School of Law and who were not awarded a merit-based scholarship upon their admittance to the School of Law are eligible to receive the Dean's Honor Scholarship to recognize their academic success.

The scholarship is only applicable for the fall/spring semesters. Scholarship amounts will vary from year to year based on funding and will be awarded based on the student's enrollment status as of July 1. Students enrolled in 12 or more hours will receive the scholarship for four semesters (2 years), and students enrolled for 11 or fewer hours will receive the scholarship for six semesters (3 years). The Dean's Honor Scholarship will be renewed each semester as long as the student remains in good academic standing. Awards will be determined after first-year rankings are released in June, with notification letters sent out to students in July/August.

The School of Law was founded in 1843 when there were fewer than 20 law schools in the nation. To commemorate the significance of that year, the School of Law established the 1843 Scholars Program. This scholarship rewards a small group of students for their outstanding academic achievements. The program awards a limited number of full tuition scholarships to incoming students each year. The 1843 Scholarship covers tuition for three years of full-time study and includes annual increases in tuition. Scholarships will be renewed each semester as long as the student remains in good academic standing.

Each year, outstanding applicants are nominated by faculty and administration in the School of Law. Nominees will notified with their acceptance package.

There are a variety of individuals who contribute to or enact endowed scholarships. These individuals often include alumni, spouses of alumni, relatives, students and friends of the University and the School. For prospective applicants, your admission application is also your application for endowed scholarships.

These scholarships help make the education of many law students at Saint Louis University School of Law a reality. We truly appreciate the generosity of our donors.
