Please review the JD Scholarship page for the terms and conditions for these scholarships.  LLM students should refer to their admit letter for the terms and conditions of their awarded scholarship.

Need based scholarships are considered renewable provided student maintains need eligibility as determined by subsequent years' Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The Federal Work Study (FWS) Program provides eligible students an opportunity to earn money to help meet educational expenses.  A student does not automatically qualify for a job based upon FWS eligibility, but must be interviewed and selected. Job opportunities are posted in the Career Services Office and the Student Employment Office.  Work Study employment earnings are paid directly to the student, twice a month.  First year students have typically not been considered for FWS until after successful completion of the first semester.  Students wishing to decline their work study may be eligible to borrow more from the federal loan program.  Please contact the School of Law Financial Aid Office for more information.

To receive Federal Loans students may need to complete additional loan procedures.  Please follow the steps below to ensure that your loan funds are received in a timely manner.

New Federal Loan Borrowers

Returning School of Law Borrowers

Returning borrowers will be required to complete new Master Promissory Notes for any loan that required a cosigner.  In addition, if you are borrowing a loan type that you did not receive last year, you must complete a Master Promissory Note.  You can do so on the www.studentLoans.gov website.  If you have already completed the loan entrance counseling for your prior Stafford and Graduate PLUS Loans with Chapman, you are not required to complete them again.
