For applicants seeking scholarships to help cover law school tuition, the name of the game has been changing in recent years.

Increasingly, awards can be negotiated at many of the nation's law schools, which frequently match competing scholarship offers from other law schools, writes the Wall Street Journal Law Blog.

“With the advent of social networks and the internet, students now know about each other’s awards,” Dean Michael Schill of UCLA School of Law tells the newspaper. "Websites allow them to compare. So many bargain one school off against the other in a process that sometimes resembles Let’s Make a Deal.”
