Law School Scholarships

Widener Law Commonwealth offers entering students a generous merit scholarship program. Scholarships for law school range from $5,000.00 to full tuition and may be used to cover the cost of tuition only. Provided the student remains in good academic standing, a GPA of 2.00 or higher, the scholarship is renewable for each year of law school.

Widener Law Commonwealth Endowed Scholarships

Widener Law Commonwealth Endowed Scholarships – established through the generosity of alumni, friends, faculty, foundations, law firms, and corporations – are to be used toward the cost of tuition and fees.  See the list below for specific scholarships requiring individual applications. 

All completed applications must be returned to the Financial Aid Office by the deadline date. "Financial need" is determined upon completion of the FAFSA.  (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Note: Scholarship applications are available on sites.widener.edu in PDF format.
