have to wait to be admitted before filing your FAFSA. Please contact the financial aid staff with any questions.

Federal Direct Student Loans
Direct unsubsidized
By submitting your FAFSA, your eligibility for Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, up to $20,500 annually, will be determined. You will be notified if additional information is required. An award letter notifying you of your eligibility will be mailed or emailed to you.
Direct Graduate Plus Loan
Should you need additional funding, the Direct Graduate Plus Loan is available to supplement educational expenses up to your cost of attendance at the law school. Your cost of attendance budget, determined by enrollment and residency, is listed under the financial aid tab in your COIN account or can be obtained by contacting Law School Financial Services.
Graduate Plus Loan applications are processed electronically. Before starting, view the 2012-2013 Graduate Plus Loan Application Instructions. As part of the process, you will be required to complete the Graduate Plus Budget Worksheet 2012-2013 and submit it to Law School Financial Services. If you anticipate requesting a Graduate Plus Loan, please submit your budget worksheet as soon as possible in order that it be on file when your application is received.
Private education loans
The law school financial aid staff strongly advise students to borrow through the federal loan program. However, we recognize that under certain exceptional circumstances a private education loan is necessary. Additional information can be found on our Types of Financial Aid page. Please contact the financial aid staff for information and application details.
Scholarships and fellowships
Law school merit and need based scholarships and fellowships are offered to qualified students.
Payment plan
A payment plan enables you to break your educational costs into easy-to-handle monthly payments rather than pay for the entire semester or year in one large sum. Tuition Management Systems administers a payment plan for the law school. Please contact them directly at www.afford.com or 800-722-4867.
