Scholarships and Loans Cardozo is committed to using its resources to help its students. A wide range of financial aid is available, including endowed scholarships, private grants, an institutional loan program, and federal, state, and private supplemental loan programs. In addition, many students are awarded funds each year entirely on the basis of merit, as determined through their application for admission. Students are selected for membership on the basis of academic achievement and writing ability. The Moot Court Honor Society selects members on the basis of grades, writing ability, and oral advocacy skills.
Students participate in numerous national and regional moot court competitions.
There are also a trial advocacy team and intraschool competitions. Extracurricular Activities There are more than thirty student groups and numerous activities at Cardozo, representing the diversity of the student body and reflecting a broad spectrum of ideologies, ethnicities, and career and public concerns. Individual groups sponsor panels, symposia, and social events. More than 150 students participate and work on hypothetical cases. They learn practice skills from scores of visiting judges and lawyers who come from across the country.
