Scholarships and Writing Competitions

During the academic year, the Law Financial Aid Office receives announcements concerning scholarships and writing competitions offered by organizations outside BU Law.

We will post basic information about these opportunities on these pages. Applications and additional information will be available in the Law Financial Aid Office unless otherwise stated.

Types of Scholarships Available:

• local bar associations (i.e. Fall River Bar Association, the Justinian Society Scholarships for Italian-Americans, Massachusetts Association of Women Lawyers
• civic, corporate or private organizations
• clubs devoted to a particular ethnic heritage
• religious organizations
• community organizations

Law Financial Aid Scholarship Database

The Law Financial Aid has done some limited research to try to find scholarships for which we do not receive regular notification. We have created a database that contains many potential scholarship resources and students are welcome to come to our office so that we can search the database for you.

How to Pay for Your Law Degree

We do have a book available for students to look through. The book, How to Pay for Your Law Degree, contains a listing of scholarships available nationally including many that do not send announcements to BU Law.
