Through the generosity of AUWCL friends and alumni, dozens of named scholarships are awarded annually to registered students ranging in amounts from $1,000 to upwards of $20,000 depending on funding levels in a given year. Selection criteria for these scholarships vary. Most commonly awards are based on financial need and/or academic achievement and are awarded to JD students.

Scholarship(s) specific to LL.M. students are based on FAFSA and other financial aid data; no separate application required. MLS (online) and SJD students are not eligible to apply for Donor-Funded Restricted Scholarships. 

The Donor-Funded Restricted Scholarship application is announced by the AUWCL Financial Aid Office in the fall semester. The Donor-Funded Restricted Scholarship application link and deadline are posted to the Forms webpage (when available). 

Complete the Donor-Funded Restricted Scholarship application online, including short-answer questions and resume. 

To be considered for scholarships with financial need as a determining factor, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the March 1 financial aid deadline. Priority is given to AUWCL need-based grant recipients.
