We've built a new scholarship predictor to pair with our admissions predictor! The feature is still in beta, so tell us what you think in the comments.
If you've already received scholarship offers, I encourage you to add your results, link to your profile, and tell us how the scholarship predictor did. The more results we see, the more we can improve this feature.
Try the scholarship predictor now.
May you all get high scores and big scholarships!

Can you add/review the information for schools in your predictors? There are three law schools in my metro area (Kansas City) and there is no information on the major schools for the area in your models.
Does the scholarship predictor assume you are admitted and then calculate based on your LSAT/GPA? Because for some of the schools I am not even sure that I will be admitted to (or am sure I will not be) I am getting $20K in scholarship haha. Thanks.
I think a tool like this could be very helpful. I would love to see a breakdown and know where you are getting "cost of attendance" figures since it varies wildly. I also think it would be helpful to have an indicator or way of seeing which schools heavily weigh, or only look at, financial need. I know for example Yale, Harvard, Stanford are all need based and I think this tool would be much better if it could help students see how need based and URM have impacts on cost of attendance.
Question, I have an international BA, so my GAP is "non existent." Is this tool helpful for those of us who have no "official" GPA? Is there a placeholder number I can use to replicate the "Superior" or "Above Average" categories?

@ellelit I am 90 percent sure it is your undergraduate GPA , I looked into a masters in London and was asking the same question
@Laneyschofield just found this as well, thanks! they look at the 'LSAC CAS GPA'
😛
Couple suggestions- I'm sure in state tuition is in the works, but I would suggest giving the option to also give us the ability to change whether we get in the "in state rate" on a per school basis, because there are different guidelines at different schools and it's possible to be "in state" in multiple places.
I think giving the option to see the three year financial cost/scholarship would give a much clearer picture, maybe even default but certainly it should be an option.
Also, LSD and Lsatdemon both seem to indicate that URM impacts scholarships as well as admissions, is that coming later or do you disagree?
