Top Law Schools

Alright, I recently finished up my first year of law school at a tier 2 school ranked right in the sixties. I had a very successful year and I am ranked in the top 10% of my class. Anyway, my question is if any of you have heard of/have experience with asking for more scholarship money after a successful 1L year? I already receive a scholarship of about 65-70% of total costs; however, I am curious to see if students have used a successful 1L year to obtain more scholarship money. I'm married, and although my wife is not pregnant yet, we have considered the idea of starting to try. It would definitely make our decision easier if I could receive more scholarship money to be in a better financial situation.

Any help, opinions, or thoughts is much appreciated. Thanks!

Your best bet is to apply to transfer and then leverage your acceptances to try to get more money. If you just ask without leverage then your school has no reason to give you more money. Might not work and you might be out of the money for the transfer apps as not all schools will do this; maybe try to find out if other people from your school have tried this before in the past and what response they got from the school.
