Scholarships and Grants
The University of Dayton School of Law awards scholarships to approximately 50 percent of each entering class. Most of our scholarships are merit-based, with the goal of diversifying the class taken into consideration. Renewal of merit scholarships is dependent upon academic performance at the end of the preceding two semesters. No separate application for scholarship consideration is required.
To be considered for scholarship assistance, your admission application should be on file with the School of Law Office of Admissions no later than March 1.

Additional Scholarships for Upper-Level students
We occasionally offer additional scholarships to upper-level students, but only when funding is available. These awards are made on the basis of class rank at the end of the first two semesters of law school, and no application is required. In addition, several scholarships are awarded on an annual basis to upper-level students to recognize their commitment to public service, social justice, and to the School of Law.
Outside scholarships and grants
Outside scholarships and grants are highly competitive and often have early application deadlines. Examples include awards by county bar associations and various local, regional, and national philanthropic organizations. We post information about outside scholarships as it becomes available.
