Drake Law School has a limited number of partial scholarships available to LLM students. Decisions regarding scholarship eligibility will be determined at the time of admission based on information contained in the application materials.
The financial assistance program at Drake is intended to provide you with the resources to finance your legal education completely.
Students wishing to borrow loans must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and request the analysis be sent to Drake University (School Code: 001860). The FAFSA can be filed as early as December, but financial aid packages will not be available until March. Loan eligibility will be determined after the FAFSA analysis is received at Drake. Students are encouraged to explore the Drake University Cost of Attendance Budget.
In the event that a student withdraws or is dropped from enrollment due to non-payment, the student will receive a refund of tuition based on the University's refund schedule.
