Law school is a significant investment, but it doesn’t have to strain your financial resources. We’re here to help ensure that law school is affordable and accessible. Wake Forest University School of Law automatically considers you for a variety of merit-based scholarships for our JD and LLM programs. There are also several other options to help you invest in your legal education, including federal and private student loans, VA education benefits, and on-campus employment opportunities. Additionally, Winston-Salem has a lower cost of living than the national average, which makes Wake Forest Law more affordable than many other law schools.
