Law School Scholarships

The Thomas R. Kline School of Law has several scholarship opportunities available.

Law Need Based Scholarships

A limited number of Need Based Scholarships may be available each year for second and third year law students. Applications are submitted by letter to the law school's Senior Associate Dean of Students. The deadline in June is announced each year by email to all continuing students. Applicants must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the following academic year.

Drexel Alumni Scholarships

Drexel offers special incentives for our undergraduate alumni. All Drexel Alumni will be awarded a $1,000 grant each year of full-time study. In addition, a Distinguished Dragon Scholarship is awarded to exceptional Drexel Alumni who have demonstrated strong academic performance.

School of Law Merit Scholarships

We are committed to enrolling the highest caliber of students to our law school. To recruit competitive law students, we have dedicated significant financial resources to the law school’s merit-based scholarship program. The school's most prestigious merit scholarship, the Rising Advocate Scholarship, recognizes outstanding undergraduate academic achievement.  The RAS scholarship allows a student to retain his or her award regardless of a change in GPA from year to year as long as the student remains in good academic standing.

Among the school’s merit-based scholarships are scholarships for individuals who have served in the Peace Corps or Teach for America. 

Students are considered for a merit scholarship when they submit an application for admission; there is not a separate application. A recipient will be notified of the award at the time of his or her offer of admission.

95% percent of our Entering Class of 2020 3-year and 2-year degree students received an academic merit scholarship varying in amount from $10,000 to $47,700.
