Law Students

According to one recent estimate, the cost of a three-year law school education could exceed $150,000. Today, approximately 80 percent of law school students rely on education loans as their largest source of financial aid. Because most of your aid will come from loans, you are likely to graduate with substantial debt to repay. Based on information provided on the Law School Admissions Council website, the average debt for law school graduates who borrowed both federal and privately guaranteed student loans was approximately $90,000 — a large amount to be paid back no matter how well-paying a job you get once you graduate.

Your first source for information on financing a legal education is the financial aid office of any LSAC-member law school, but that's only one resource you should take advantage of. Graduate Leverage can work with you — and your financial aid officer — to make sure that you are getting the most comprehensive loan information to address your individual needs. Because we understand the complexities of the student loan marketplace, we can help you decipher what it all means and ultimately choose a loan that's right for you.
