Notre Dame Law School is committed to providing a legal education of the highest quality at a tuition structure that compares favorably to other nationally regarded private law schools. In addition to the low cost of living in northern Indiana, NDLS provides non-repayable fellowship assistance to approximately 75 percent of each incoming class.

Every candidate admitted to the Law School is considered for fellowship aid based on multiple factors with the goal of admitting students with different backgrounds and many talents. These factors include, but are not limited to, academic qualifications, personal statement, leadership and community service. However, if you wish to be considered for need-based fellowship aid, you must complete the optional financial aid form on the online admission application.

Applicants for admission who wish to receive consideration for fellowship and grant assistance are strongly encouraged to submit all admission materials at the earliest possible date.
