How are each of the T14 schools with financial aid?

[frazzled1]

<p>OP, I think that you can find some helpful information if you’re willing to dig through the various law school websites. UVA seems fairly detailed regarding how many students receive scholarships and loans: [Financial</a> Aid - University of Virginia School of Law](<a href=“http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/prospectives/finaid/finaid.htm]Financial”>Financial Aid) In 2012, 428 students received $11.4 million in scholarships; 731 students received 37.4 million in loans. There are 1,078 JD students, so about 40 percent of students received some merit aid at UVA. (To me, the big surprise is that more than 300 students apparently didn’t receive loans.) Some folks may not find this info especially meaningful, though I do.</p>

<p>The site goes on to say that merit scholarships range from $5,000 to full tuition, and that </p>

<p>

Scholarships are awarded to entering students and are automatically renewed for the second and third year of law school enrollment as long as a student remains in good academic standing and continues to maintain a standard of behavior characteristic of a prospective member of the legal profession.

Again per the website, “good academic standing” is defined as a 2.0 or above GPA.</p>
