Scholarship Eligibility

The University of Dayton School of Law provides significant scholarship support to our students. All applicants to the School of Law will be considered for scholarships and, therefore, need not submit a separate application for scholarship support.

Full-time Residential Students

Our scholarships awarded to our full-time, residential students are guaranteed for a total of six semesters taken during the Fall or Spring semesters, as long as they remain in good academic standing and are not subject to disciplinary action for serious infractions of the Law School Honor Code, University Code of Conduct, or other applicable University policies.

For residential students to receive their scholarship in any given semester, they must maintain status as a full-time student. If they drop below 12 credits in a given semester, the scholarship may be adjusted accordingly.

Part-time Online Hybrid Students

For our part-time, online hybrid students, their scholarships are guaranteed for a total of eleven semesters during the Summer, Fall or Spring semesters, as long as they remain in good academic standing and are not subject to disciplinary action for serious infractions of the Law School Honor Code, University Code of Conduct, or other applicable University policies. The application of the award will be based on a standard 90-credit course of study.

For both the full-time and part-time JD programs, when tuition costs are already covered by other funding sources, the scholarships can be used for housing or other educational costs.
