Hi if any one knows this - do any law schools in US/Canada offer full/partial ride to international applicants?

Hi @kartadlh. Former admissions officer here. Candidates can get a sense of how a school might handle scholarships in the future by reviewing their past scholarship awards. This information for ABA law schools is available to the public through the 509 Disclosures: https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx. If you select "509 Required Disclosures" in the left column, you can select a particular school and information for the past 10 years. Once you have selected a year and a law school, you can run the report and see scholarship information (how many recipients, the size of award, etc) on page two of the report under "Grants and Scholarships." Please know that merit scholarships are often awarded as a financial incentive to get attractive candidates. Merit awards are given based on many factors, including cumulative GPA and LSAT. I am not sure how you are defining "international applicant" but for admissions purposes, "international" candidates are applicants who received their undergraduate degree from outside the US. Generally, this means that those candidates do not have an LSAC GPA that can be used by the school for reporting and ranking purposes. Admissions instead will focus on the LSAT and other factors. Good luck!
