All students must complete and mail the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to the federal government. The Office of student Financial Assistance will determine your financial aid reward based on the expected family contribution deducted from the cost of attendance. Your award package usually consists of a Stafford Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized), scholarships and grants. Since state grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, early submission of financial aid documents is strongly encouraged. The priority date for submission is April 1 for the fall semester.

Programs for International Students

International students are faced with the challenge of financing a legal education themselves because of ineligibility for federal funding. There are several lenders and nonprofit foundations that are designed to assist international students in securing funding.

(A co-signer in the student's home country may be required. Often this co-signer is the student's parent or guardian.) http://www.globalslc.com/
a International Student Loan Program (ISLP)- ISLP is a loan service for international students to study at US and approved international (non-US) colleges and universities. http://www.internationalstudentloan.com/intl_student/
The Education Resources Institute (TERI) - TERI offers loans to international students in varying amount and may require a credit worthy co-signer. http://www.teri.org/lp_grad.html
