Scholarships

Detroit Mercy Law awards a variety of scholarships to students each year, including Dean's Scholarships for academic excellence, leadership scholarships, and endowed scholarships.

Dean's Scholarships 
Current students are notified in August - September regarding the renewal of merit scholarships, which do not require any application process. The requirements of the scholarship renewal are listed on the scholarship award letters that students received at the time of admission or at the time of last year's renewal.

Presidential Grants
Upper-level students involved in leadership positions at Detroit Mercy Law may be eligible for a Presidential Grant as a way to show our appreciation for your commitment to the School of Law. Current students are notified in the summer before classes begin about their Presidential Scholarship.

Detroit Mercy Law Named & Endowed Internal Scholarships 
The School of Law has several named and endowed scholarships available to students after their first year of law school. These scholarships have been made available by generous alumni and friends of Detroit Mercy. To apply for additional Detroit Mercy Law scholarships, upper-level students must complete the Detroit Mercy general application and the Detroit Mercy School of Law scholarship application found on the Detroit Mercy Opportunities page. Recipients of the awards will be notified by the end of Fall term and scholarships will apply toward Winter term tuition.
