The scholarship funds listed below are used to assist eligible and deserving students with the cost of attending Tulane Law School.


	Tulane Law School Scholarship Most of the scholarship assistance awarded to law students comes from internal funds at the Law School, set aside for that purpose and designated Tulane Law School Scholarships. As noted above, most of these funds are awarded to incoming students on the basis of merit, with a portion reserved for need-based scholarships. These scholarships are renewable so long as the student meets the prescribed conditions. A portion of the School's funds is reserved for upperclass students who were not awarded scholarships as first -year students, but who have performed exceptionally well during the first or second year of law school.

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.
