Touro's Office of Admissions administers a generous scholarship program: full
and partial tuition awards are offered to entering students based on their
prior academic records and potential for success in law school; in addition,
fellowships and awards are available to continuing students and to those
interested in pursuing specific areas of interest within the profession, based
on their demonstrated academic achievement. All scholarships are renewable in
accordance with the terms of the award.
Application Procedure
-
Visit www.pin.edu.gov to request a federal Personal Identification Number (PIN)
and complete FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
It will be easier to complete the FAFSA if you have already completed your tax
returns. For Question #104, use Touro College and the following address: 27-33
West 23rd Street New York, NY 10010. The FAFSA school code = 010142.
-
Institutional aid in the form of Touro Law Center Grants (TLC Grants) is
awarded solely on the basis of financial need, including your ability to
contribute to your educational expenses. If you are under 26 years of age,
eligibility is determined using also your parents’ ability to contribute to
your educational expenses, so your FAFSA must include all parental data.
-
Complete the Touro Law Center Financial Aid Application. Be certain to include,
on the first page of the application, the name of your lender(s) and the amount
of the Federal Stafford and Federal Grad-Plus or Alternative/Private Education
loan(s) you are seeking.
-
Complete the Stafford/Grad-Plus Loan Entrance Interview. The interview can be
done online at www.mappingyourfuture.org/sge. You will receive a confirmation
once you have completed the process.
-
Print a copy of the Entrance Interview Confirmation and forward it to the
Financial Aid Office.
-
TAP (Tuition Assistance Program): If you are a full-time student and a New York
State resident, you may be eligible for TAP. The maximum TAP award for graduate
students is $550. (Note: For eligibility, New York State defines “independent”
differently than federal government.) When you file the FAFSA on the Web, you
can link directly to TAP on the Web (TOTW), which will allow you to apply for
TAP and other New York State grants and scholarships. The TAP school code for
Touro Law Center = 5866.
-
In choosing lender(s), always compare the ultimate “cost” of the various
products by reading the loan terms carefully. Apply immediately for the Federal
Stafford Loan; apply for the Federal Grad-Plus Loan or Alternative/Private
Education Loan at the same time that you pay your admissions seat deposit. The
maximum loan amount for the Federal Grad-Plus Loan or Alternative/Private
Education Loan is the “cost of attendance,” minus other aid (including grants,
scholarships, and the Federal Stafford Loan).
After you have decided which lender(s) and loan product is right for you:
-
Apply online directly to the lender(s) of your choice and e-sign your
application. Remember to indicate the school code and campus code: 010142-05.
-
Print out a copy of each of the loan application(s) and forward them to the
Financial Aid Office.
-
Submit the following to the Financial Aid Office:
-
Touro Law Center Financial Aid Application
-
Copy of Stafford/Grad-Plus Loan Entrance Interview Confirmation
-
Copy of Completed E-Signed Federal Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN)
-
Copy of Completed E-Signed Federal Grad-Plus or Alternative/Private Education
Application
