Scholarships and Financial Assistance

EASTLAND SCHOLARS

Each year, several outstanding entering students are selected as recipients of the prestigious Eastland Scholarships in Law. Recipients are chosen on the basis of academic ability and achievement, as well as promise in the field of law. These scholarships cover full tuition and partial living expenses during the three-year program.

NONRESIDENT ALUMNI AWARDS

These awards cover part of the cost of nonresident tuition ($750/semester) and are available to entering law students who are unmarried nonresidents of Mississippi, provided either parent is a former University of Mississippi student who was enrolled full time for six regular semesters or received a degree from UM. The awards are renewable as long as the student earns at least a 2.5 grade-point average each semester of full-time enrollment.

OTHER SCHOLARSHIPS

Several other scholarships are available through the generous support of our alumni and friends. All students accepted to the law school are automatically considered for these scholarships. No further application is necessary. Because scholarship awards can begin as early as December of the year prior to entry to law school, it is important to apply early and complete your admissions file in a timely manner.

Our low tuition cost ensures that a quality legal education is available to all of our students. Financial assistance through federal loan programs is available to students who meet the eligibility requirements. Forms and additional information on financial aid are available by contacting a financial aid counselor at the University’s Office of Financial Aid, 800-891-4596, or visit
