Another Sweet Deal for Law Students at UC Irvine: Half Off Tuition
California’s innovative new law school, the University of California at Irvine, attracted more than 2,700 applicants with its offer of free tuition to all members of its first-year class, for all three years of law school. UC Irvine accepted only 4 percent of the applicants for the 2009 school year, making it the choosiest law school in the nation.
Now the 2010 class is also getting a generous offer: scholarships covering at least half the cost of tuition, for all three years of law school, according to a press release. The National Law Journal (sub. req.) and the Wall Street Journal Law Blog also have stories.
The scholarships are funded by private donations. Tuition for the 2010-2011 school year is expected to be about $40,000 for in-state students and about $50,000 for those from out-of-state.
