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.


	Jack C. Benjamin Scholarship Fund This scholarship fund was established in October 2002 to honor Jack C. Benjamin by his family and friends. Mr. Benjamin received both undergraduate and law degrees from Tulane (BA, 1948; LLB, 1950). The scholarship was initiated by Mrs. Emily S. Benjamin to commemorate her husband's 75th birthday and to honor his dedication and service to Tulane University Law School, to the legal community, and to New Orleans. The income is used for scholarship support of a Tulane Law School student from Louisiana who has a demonstrated need for financial assistance. 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.
