Access Financial Assistance at Texas A&M Law

Texas A&M Law scholarships (both merit-based and need-based), external scholarship sources are a great way to help finance your law degree. Many students combine their financial awards with other options including loans and work study opportunities to maximize the value of their degree.

JD Scholarships and Tuition Waivers

All JD students offered admission are automatically considered for merit scholarships. In 2022 and 2023, 100% of the incoming class received merit scholarships and all out-of-state students received non-resident tuition waivers.

Non-Resident Tuition Waiver

Non-residents who are awarded Texas A&M Law merit-based scholarships (JD, on-campus LLM) may also receive a waiver that exempts them from paying non-resident tuition and related fees.
