The cost of attending a particular law school is only one of the many factors you should consider in making your choice. It asks for information about your income, assets, and other financial resources. The information you provide on the financial aid form will be used to compute how much you and your family should contribute toward your legal education. Their availability is quite limited, and they are usually awarded by the law schools themselves. The law school's financial aid office can give you more information.
Additional information is available from any law school financial aid office.
The largest student loan programs are funded or guaranteed by the federal government. Some are awarded on a need basis, while others are not need based. Some types of student loans will require a credit check. Student loans are usually offered at lower interest rates than consumer loans, and the repayment of the principal and interest usually begins after the end of your educational program. The Center for Prelaw Advising at Rollins College offers counseling to students in planning financial sources to fund law school costs.
