US Citizens, Permanent Residents and Eligible Noncitizens
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA):
LL.M. students who are US citizens, permanent residents, or eligible noncitizens may be eligible for federal financial aid to help pay the costs of attending the University of Oregon School of Law. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the first week in February for receipt by the University of Oregon's Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships by the March 1 priority deadline of the year for which aid is sought. Because some funds are limited, applicants are encouraged to submit the FAFSA even if they have not yet been admitted to the School of Law or have not yet filed their federal tax return. For questions about student loans, the FAFSA or eligibility, contact the University of Oregon's Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarship.
The school code for the University of Oregon is 003223.
