<p>I've heard that there are some law schools that offer tuition scholarships (waivers of tuition) for some students who show particular promise.
Do you know what these law schools are? I'd be interested in a list of them.</p>
<p>“Promise”, however defined, has little to do with merit money.</p>
<p>Most law schools offer merit aid to students who they want, i.e., students who will raise their reportable scores (GPA+LSAT). If you are in the top quartiles for both, you will definitley be competitive for some money. Schools also offer money to students who are above medians, or in top quartile for one score (LSAT or GPA).</p>
<p>Take a look at l a w s c h o o l n u m b e r s .com</p>
<p>Many lower tier schools offer big money to first years, but you then have to be tops in the first year or your scholarship is lost and you must pay $40k in tuition. Beware.</p>
<p>Rutgers - Newark and Rutgers - Camden do offer nearly a full ride if you are a member of the NJ National Guard due to State Tuition Waiver.</p>
