Financial Assistance

The tuition and fees at the University of Arkansas School of Law are comparatively low. Fayetteville is a relatively inexpensive place to live. Nevertheless, even a single Arkansas resident should expect to spend approximately $9,000 a year while in law school.

No student of real ability and commitment should be prevented from obtaining a legal education for lack of sufficient personal funds. It is hoped that every qualified student will be able to attend the University of Arkansas School of Law.

STUDENT LOANS AND OTHER AIDS

A financial aid package can be prepared for eligible students from several fund sources and awards are made through the office of Student Financial Aid. Applications must be submitted by April 1 each year. Further information can be obtained by writing Director, Student Financial Aid, Room 114, Silas H. Hunt Hall, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701. Some student scholarships are administered by the Associate Dean of Students.

The University is an approved institution for training of veterans and veterans beneficiaries. Veterans of recent military service and the dependents of certain other servicemen may be entitled to educational assistance payments from the Veterans Administration.

Veterans of recent military service, widows, or children of men who lost their lives in service or who are not totally disabled as a result of service should contact the nearest Veterans Administration Regional Office as far in advance of enrollment date as is possible for assistance in securing Veterans Administration benefits.
