The AUWCL Office of Admissions considers all applicants for merit scholarships at the time of their admission; a separate application is not required. Merit scholarships are primarily determined by applicant academic indicators (LSAT/GRE score and undergraduate GPA). Merit scholarships for part-time JD students are renewable for up to four academic years per the AUWCL Merit Scholarship Policy. The Office of Admissions generally begins awarding merit scholarships in January and continues throughout the admissions process.聽For the last two years, more than 60% of the incoming class received merit scholarships with awards ranging聽from $10,000 up to full tuition.

Through the generosity of AUWCL friends and alumni, dozens of named scholarships are awarded annually ranging in amounts from $1,000 to upwards of $20,000 depending on funding levels in a given year. Selection criteria for these scholarships vary. Most commonly awards are based on financial need and academic achievement.

The Restricted Scholarships require a separate application; procedures and selection criteria are announced during the fall semester with the application deadline typically 2-3 weeks after the first announcement.
