Is it possible to get a higher scholarship if you don't have any current acceptances from other schools? I made the mistake of not applying more broadly and at this point in the admissions cycle, I'm sure it's too late to do that now.
Stats are a 163 and 3.63 and at this point in time, I am going to Stetson Law. I was offered $25,000 per year. On the plus side, I'll get to live at home, so I don't have to worry about cost of living.

You'll likely want to look into Stetson's reconsideration policy. They may have requirements to be offered more, or not have a reconsideration option at all.
At this point, a lot of schools are running low/are out of scholarship money, so even with reconsideration, they may not be able to change much. I would highly recommend looking into outside funding to supplement the scholarship you have received from the school.
AccessLex (https://www.accesslex.org/databank) is your best bet. They have verified funding opportunities both prior to starting and once you are in school, both in the form of grants/scholarships and writing competitions. Also, some schools have 2L and 3L scholarship opportunities, I would definitely reach out to Stetson and ask about that (or paid opportunities like research, or certain extracurricular activities with stipends).
Congratulations on starting law school! You should be so proud of yourself for not only getting into law school, but also being offered a scholarship! Good luck!
@alk2001 Alright. Thank you for the input!
