Funding for a visiting 3L student.... Forum

Is there anyway to get some kind of scholarship to offset the cost? Thanks for your help!

My understanding is that schools rarely provide financial aid to non-matriculants. Your best shot is either your home institution or some third party scholarship.

Why don't you just ask your finaid office?

Thanks for the response. Yeah, that is something that I will probably be doing. But, because I am on break, I just thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks, again.

To my (admittedly limited) knowledge, there are exactly zero schools who offer scholarship money to transfers. I don't know why this would be different for visiting non-matrics. That said, you can always try local scholarship searches. Contact your visiting LS and ask if you can apply now for scholarships that are handed out to next year's returning students. I'd imagine this is a long shot.

And there's always fed/private student loans. I'm interested (pure curiosity) if you find anything out about this. GL!

Cooley does.

Transfer Students

Transfer students are eligible for scholarships similar to new entering students by either qualifying based upon their undergraduate grade point average and LSAT score (Index) OR based upon their LSAT score.

Transfer students can also qualify for an Honors Scholarship based upon their class rank at the school from which their transfer occurs. The scholarship amount will be determined by class rank as described in the ranking chart.

These scholarships are retained at the level of the original award and are not increased or decreased in amount, so long as the student remains in good standing.* Transfer students may also be eligible for the Michigan Resident Honors Scholarship Enhancement Program if they meet the criteria.

But Cooley really needs those incoming transfer students.

Your best bet is to ask your current school to apply your current scholarship towards expenses at the institution where you'll be spending your 3L year.

Well hot damn. I stand corrected.
