New Students: Applying For Financial Aid
At Yale Law School, the financial aid process is personal. We recognize that traditional financial aid applications and forms only tell part of our students’ stories. Thus, we encourage students to meet with a financial aid staff member to discuss any financial circumstances not reflected on their applications and to share financial challenges or changes that occur throughout their enrollment. Our small class size allows us to work with students individually and to provide confidential one-on-one counseling to everyone who requests it. Those admitted close to or after March 15 will not be penalized for submitting any part of the Financial Aid application after that date. Access to FAAST will not be granted until the Applicant has been Admitted.
For more details on JD financial aid policies and procedures, please refer to the 2024-2025 JD Financial Aid Handbook.
PLEASE NOTE - The financial aid awarding cycle will not be impacted by the delay in when schools will receive 2024-2025 FAFSA data. We encourage students to submit the FAAST and FAFSA applications at their earliest convenience.
