Saint Louis University Scholarships

Deans Honor Scholarship

Students ranked in the top 10% after completing their first year of law school and who were not awarded a merit-based scholarship upon their admittance to the School of Law will be awarded the Deans Honor Scholarship to recognize their academic success. Scholarship is only applicable for the fall/spring semesters. Scholarship amounts will vary from year to year and will be awarded based on the enrollment status as of June 1. The Deans Honor Scholarship will be renewed each year as long as the student remains in good academic standing. Awards will be determined after rankings are released in June, with letters sent out to recipients during July/August.

1843 Scholars

The School of Law at Saint Louis University was founded in 1843 when there were fewer than 20 law schools in the nation. To commemorate the significance of that year, the School of Law established the 1843 Scholars program. This scholarship rewards a small group of students for their outstanding academic achievements. The program awards 10 full-tuition scholarships to incoming students for three years, and includes annual increases in tuition.

Each year, outstanding applicants are nominated by faculty and administration in the School of Law. Nominees must compose a response to the 1843 essay question, which is included with the nomination notification.
