Honors Scholarships for New Students from Michigan or Florida
Our scholarship program rewards students whose credentials demonstrate good potential for successful law study. Entering Michigan or Florida students can earn from 10-85% of tuition based on their Cooley Admissions Index or on the LSAT score.

Increasing the Honors Scholarship Award
Once enrolled, a student receiving an honors scholarship of less than 50% may increase the level of that scholarship through academic achievement in subsequent terms, based on the class ranking system.
The new, higher scholarship award is continued as a minimum award for the duration of the student's enrollment as long as the student is not subject to sanction under the Honor Code or Disciplinary Procedures.
NOTE: Scholarships are not retroactive.
Students who enter in September 2012 and earlier classes will retain the scholarships they received or will receive based on the results from the Michaelmas 2012 grades and rankings.
