Student Support

Scholarship/Fellowship Funds
Funds established to provide grants to deserving students. Financial assistance in the form of scholarships is currently given to 58.9 percent of the Mizzou Law student body. Scholarships help MU compete for outstanding students and provide opportunities for highly qualified applicants who lack financial resources. Contributors support scholarships for a variety of reasons: to help aspiring students, to honor friends and loved ones, to reciprocate for privileges they enjoyed.
