Listen to this article

Syracuse University College of Law has introduced a $20,000 Empire State Scholars Grant for all admitted New York state residents, beginning with students entering the school in the fall of 2017.

Students eligible for the Empire State Scholars Grant may alternatively receive merit-based scholarships for which they qualify that exceed the $20,000 tuition grant.

The Syracuse University College of Law Empire State Scholars Grant means the College of Law is the least expensive private law school in the state for residents.

For admitted New York state residents, yearly tuition to the College of Law for 2017-18 will be $26,460 based on 2016-17 tuition. While students will still need to complete financial aid applications, the Syracuse Law Empire State Scholars Grant will be automatic and not require additional paperwork other than that required to verify New York residence.

The Grant will renew automatically for the second and third years of law school, so long as the student is in good academic standing at the beginning of each school year.

New York State residents seeking to enter law school in the fall of 2017 must submit completed applications by April 1, the College’s priority application deadline, to guarantee qualification for the Grant.
