Scholarships & Grants

Scholarships for New Students

The School of Law has various scholarships available to new law students. Some scholarships are designed to promote academic excellence, while others have been established to assist those in financial need or attract a diverse and experienced class. In awarding scholarships, the School of Law evaluates students using the same factors as those considered in evaluating applications. There is no additional scholarship application, and all applicants are automatically considered for any and all aid for which they are eligible. Scholarship recipients are typically notified of their awards at the time of acceptance or shortly thereafter, but awards are made on a rolling basis so notification could come at any time prior to enrollment.

Presidential Scholarship Program (for entering first-year law students only)

The School of Law created the Presidential Scholarship Program as a type of partnership to bring legal education opportunities to outstanding students at selected Texas colleges and universities. Although the School of Law funds the scholarship, each partner school is charged with nominating the recipient. Nomination under this program does not guarantee admission to the School of Law. The Admissions Committee must accept each nominee based on the same criteria applied to other applicants. Students attending the institutions listed are eligible for a renewable scholarship in the amount of $7,500.

Applicants must have an LSAT score of at least 156 and an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.50 for consideration.

Interested students should contact the Office of the President at their respective institution for additional information.

Out-of-State Tuition Waiver Program

Texas law allows an out-of-state student (non-resident) who receives a competitive academic scholarship of at least $1,000 for the academic year to pay the significantly lower tuition rates otherwise available only to Texas residents.

Advanced Student Scholarship and Fellowship Program (for current TTU Law students only)

These scholarships are available to students in their second or third year of law school and are awarded on the basis of academic performance and financial need. Applications are available in the main office each Spring semester.
