The Law School Financial Aid Office has identified a number of outside scholarships for which Tulane law students may be eligible. Students are encouraged to research these and other scholarship opportunities further.


	Baker Donelson Diversity Scholarship Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC Baker Donelson is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where the individual differences among us are understood, respected and appreciated, recognized as sources of strength of the Firm, and valued as qualities that enrich the environment in which we work. With this in mind, Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC will award three (3) scholarships to diverse law students this year. Each recipient will be awarded $10,000 which will be paid during the student's third year of law school to help defray the cost of law school tuition and related expenses. Additionally, recipients will be awarded a salaried 2L Summer Associate position in one of our following offices: Birmingham, AL; Atlanta, GA; Baton Rouge, New Orleans, LA; Jackson, MS; or Chattanooga, Johnson City, Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville, TN. The recipients' office preferences will be taken into consideration, but final assignment will be according to the Firm's needs. The recipients may split their summers with other law firms; however, they are required to work during the period that the other Summer Associates in that Baker Donelson office are working.

Information for Applicants Who Are Neither U.S. Citizens Nor U.S. Permanent Residents
An applicant who is neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. permanent resident does not have eligibility to apply for U.S. Federal educational loans. (Applicants who are neither U.S. citizens nor U.S. permanent residents should not fill out a FAFSA form.) However, several private (non-federal) educational loans allow application by such students if they obtain a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident co-signer. The co-signer must supply a U.S. social security number, have a satisfactory credit history, and demonstrate sufficient current income to repay credit obligations (including the educational loan). The student applicant also should provide a U.S. social security number if possible. With a creditworthy co-signer, a student can borrow up to the cost of attendance. Tulane determines the borrower's maximum loan eligibility based on the Cost of Attendance , less any other financial aid received. The interest rates are variable. For more details on these private commercial education loans (and/or to verify the latest information, which may be changed by the lenders without notice), contact each agency directly.
