Top Law Schools

I have searched everywhere for information. Does anyone know if UM gives full-tuition plus a living stipend? If so, how much do you receive?

I know one of their public interest programs provides one for a summer of externship but wanted to know if there is any possibly of getting some extra aid to compensate for the living expenses in Miami.


Thank you.

Look at their ABA 509 form. Do any students receive more than a full scholarship?

Here's the number of students receiving "more than full tuition" from each ABA Std 509 form for the last 5 years, including the percentage of full-time students overall receiving MTFT and the 75th percentile grant amount:

Form = [Year: MTFT# / MTFT% / 75%gr.amt]
2018: 25 / 2.36% / $40,000
2017: 25 / 2.79% / $36,000
2016: 27 / 2.89% / $32,000
2015: 23 / 2.36% / $30,000
2014: 25 / 2.19% / $27,471

From this data, we can see that 1) UM does give scholarships above full tuition; 2) there appear to be 8-9 per class on average; and 3) those who miss the stipend threshold miss it by quite a bit. I also noticed that virtually all of UM's scholarships are conditioned on academic performance, and about 10 per class per year (more in prior years) were reduced or eliminated.

Keep in mind that if someone is dual-enrolled in another academic program, they might end up with aid beyond tuition that doesn’t come from the law school, but would show up on the report (I believe).
