WashU Law is nestled on WashU’s Danforth campus, on the edge of Forest Park. We’re positioned at the heart of America, where perspectives converge and legal opportunities span multiple jurisdictions.
We believe in rewarding excellence.
We provide financial support through merit and need-based scholarships to make legal education accessible and affordable.
“I am so grateful for my scholarship, as I would not have been able to attend law school without significant financial aid. My mother raised me mostly on her own, on a single mother’s salary. Receiving scholarship support allowed me to attend one of the best law schools in the country and pursue a career in public interest without enormous debt. I am utterly thankful and deeply humbled.”
“I am beyond appreciative for my scholarship and the opportunities it has afforded me. As a financially independent, extremely debt averse student, it means the world to me to have the opportunity to receive a top-tier legal education without taking on a near insurmountable amount of debt.”
“Receiving scholarship support means the world to me. It is not just a financial investment in my education, but a profound affirmation of my aspirations and potential. It has eased the financial burden of law school, allowing me to focus more fully on excelling academically and pursuing opportunities that align with my passion for making a meaningful impact.”
