	William A. Lovett Law Scholarship Endowed Fund In recognition of Professor William Lovett's long commitment to Tulane Law School as a faculty member, as well as his lifelong dedication to the practice and study of the law, an alumnus of the Law School has chosen to honor Professor Lovett's service and scholarship through the creation of the William A. Lovett Law Scholarship Endowed Fund. Professor Lovett began teaching at the Law School in 1969. Prior to joining the faculty at Tulane, he was a trial attorney for the US Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, and staff economist for the Federal Trade Commission. Professor Lovett is a widely regarded authority on a range of legal issues including antitrust, banking and financial institutions, shipping and the maritime sector, torts, economic regulations, and international trade policy. Professor Lovett earned his AB from Wabash College in 1956. He earned his JD from New York University in 1959, an AM in Economics from Harvard University in 1964, and his PhD in Economics from Michigan State University if 1969. The Lovett Scholarship is used to provide tuition support to an incoming student at Tulane Law School. 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.
