Access Restricted to Northwestern Law CommunityTuition and Financial Aid
Our Philosophy
A Northwestern Law legal education is a valuable investment that will provide lifelong returns throughout your legal career. Given that, the Law School recognizes that many students do not have the immediate financial resources to cover the substantial costs of a legal education. Therefore, we are committed to providing a comprehensive financial aid program designed to enable any accepted student to attend the Law School and complete their degree program regardless of financial need.
The Office of Financial Aid administers a number of programs to assist both prospective and continuing law students in financing their Northwestern Law education. Aid packages are composed of a combination of loans, grants, and/or scholarships. Assistance is based on demonstrated financial need.
Our goal is to help students and their families develop a realistic and cost-effective plan to finance their legal education. More than 80 percent of Northwestern Law students receive some form of financial assistance from the Law School. We encourage students to educate themselves about the costs and financial aid procedures. Students should start their financial aid application process as early as possible and not wait for an admissions decision before applying.
