Tulane Law School Prospective Students

Prospective Students

Alumni and other friends of Tulane Law School have donated funds in honor of or in memory of individuals and families for the purpose of providing scholarship support to Tulane law students. The scholarship funds listed below are used to assist eligible and deserving students with the cost of attending Tulane Law School.


	Phelps, Dunbar Law Firm Scholarship Perhaps the oldest firm in the city, founded in 1853, this firm comprises 239 lawyers, 40 of them from Tulane. The firm provides the funds for a partial scholarship for a second-year law student from Louisiana who is pursuing the civil law curriculum and is ranked in the top 25 percent of his or her class. Recipients must demonstrate financial need. The scholarship is renewable for the third year of law school so long as the recipient remains in the top 25 percent of his or her class. Therefore, two upperclass students receive the scholarship each year. Return to scholarships index

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.
