Law school scholarship calculator
Enter your LSAT score and CAS GPA to estimate the merit scholarship you might receive at every ABA-accredited law school. For each school you'll see the estimated award, tuition (non-resident tuition for public schools), and your estimated cost — what you'd pay per year after the scholarship. Click any school for its full scholarship distribution and cost of living.

Frequently Asked Questions
Scholarship offers aren't random. At many schools, admissions officers create matrices to determine awards. Here's a simplified example:
| LSAT | GPA 3.0–3.49 | GPA 3.5–3.74 | GPA 3.75+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 165+ | $25,000 | $30,000 | $35,000 |
| 160–164 | $15,000 | $20,000 | $25,000 |
| 155–159 | $5,000 | $10,000 | $15,000 |
We look for patterns like that in self-reported results. If we can't find them, we use ABA data to model a function that accepts LSAT and GPA as inputs and outputs a scholarship range.
Your likely merit scholarship at each ABA-accredited law school, based on what schools have historically awarded applicants with your LSAT and GPA. Where we have enough data we show a single estimate; otherwise we show a range. The estimated cost column subtracts the award from tuition, so you can compare what you'd actually pay per year.
The estimates are built from ABA 509 reports and 7Sage's own admissions data. Treat them as a realistic baseline, not a quote. They're most useful for comparing schools against each other and for judging whether an offer you've received is strong or weak for someone with your numbers.
No. This predictor covers merit aid, which is driven mainly by your LSAT and GPA. Schools that award aid primarily on financial need — Yale, Harvard, and Stanford — show "Need-based aid" instead of a dollar estimate. Need-based grants require a separate application and depend on your family's finances, so your actual cost at those schools may be lower than what you see here.
Schools weigh more than your numbers: your essays and resume, when in the cycle you apply, your residency, and how many applicants with your stats they're competing for that year. Check whether an award is conditional, too — many require a minimum GPA or class rank, and law school grading curves mean some students lose them.
Raise your LSAT score, apply early and apply to a wide range of schools so you have offers to compare, including targets and safeties. Once offers arrive, many schools will reconsider an award if you show them a better one from a peer school.

It depends on the school. Full-tuition awards generally go to applicants at or above a school's 75th-percentile LSAT and GPA. A score that earns a full ride outside the T14 may earn very little at the T14 itself. Enter a target score above to see the difference.
