Graduate School Scholarship: Law
Dream bigger with a law school scholarship for QuestBridge Alumni
Expanding pathways to a career in law
A law degree is more than a credential — it can be a powerful tool for driving change, shaping the future, and building a meaningful career centered around ethics and justice. Through the Graduate School Scholarship: Law, QuestBridge Scholars and Alumni can apply for a scholarship that funds up to the full cost of tuition at our law school partners.
Top law schools are places where rigorous intellectual inquiry and open debate flourish, and where students are trained to address the dynamic challenges of future legal practice. We believe this is a space where QuestBridge Alumni belong, and that the cost of attendance should not be a barrier. The Graduate School Scholarship: Law aims to make a law degree more accessible by providing you with the financial support and insight you need to successfully navigate the law school application process, so that you can take the next step towards achieving your dreams.

The application fee waivers only cover the school application fees. Once you submit your QuestBridge Law School Supplement, you will receive a fee waiver code for each of our law school partners that covers the school-specific LSAC JD application fee.
You should additionally apply through the LSAC Fee Waiver Program to request a waiver for the CAS subscription fee and up to six law school reports. CAS is the centralized service that collects your official transcripts, recommendations, and any other documents required for each of your law school applications so that these only need to be sent once to LSAC. CAS verifies your documents and sends your full report to all law schools you select.
By uploading your QuestBridge Law School Supplement as an addendum in your LSAC application to our law school partners, they will be able to identify you as a QuestBridge Scholar or Alum and consider you for scholarship funding. QuestBridge will also send a list of the applicants to the partners to confirm your status.
After submitting the QuestBridge Law School Supplement and completing your LSAC applications, you will receive admissions decisions directly from the schools according to their regular admissions processing timelines. Separately, you will be notified directly from the schools in the early spring if you have been selected for the scholarship.
Scholarship decisions are made by each law school partner, including the number of scholarships granted and the scholarship amounts, and may vary each year due to various factors. By submitting your QuestBridge Law School Supplement, LSAC JD application, and financial aid forms, the schools will consider you for all types of financial aid alongside the QuestBridge scholarship. Partners are committed to funding each admitted student to the best of their ability, but not all QuestBridge Scholars and Alumni admitted to a law school partner are guaranteed scholarship funding.
