Financial aid at Harvard Law School is exclusively need-based; there are no “merit” or “full-ride” scholarships available. Although financial aid packages vary in composition from one year to the next, some basic guidelines are followed each year. Demonstrated financial need is calculated from a standard student budget, which is set at $116,000 for 2024-25. From the budget, HLS subtracts the Family Resources (determined through the application process every year,) and the Grant Eligibility Threshold, which is set at $54,000 for 2024-25. The remaining amount is your Financial Need, and is met with HLS Grant assistance. |
