Tuition and Financial Aid
With the exception of merit scholarships, all financial aid at Vermont Law School is based on financial need. Approximately 90 percent of our students receive some form of financial assistance; 60 percent of these students receive institutional aid; and 40 percent receive Vermont Law School grants and scholarships. Institutional aid includes merit scholarships, need-based grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study and fellowships.
To be considered for federal and VLS financial aid, a student must:
- be enrolled at least half-time and be making satisfactory progress in the JD, MELP or LLM program;
- be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen (see FAFSA instructions for definition of eligible non-citizen);
- not be in default on a previous federal loan or owe a refund on federal financial aid received in the past;
- be registered with the Selective Service (if applicable); and
- have educational expenses and demonstrated financial need.
