Scholarship Programs

To ensure the equitable distribution of resources, the following policy will apply—beginning in the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 academic year—to University of San Diego School of Law employees and their beneficiaries utilizing tuition benefits under the University of San Diego Tuition Remission Program:

Employees of the University of San Diego, and their beneficiaries, may not simultaneously utilize tuition remission benefits provided by the University and a tuition-restricted scholarship (e.g., admitted student scholarships) for any degree offered by the School of Law during a given academic term. Incoming or returning law students who utilize tuition remission benefits will automatically have those benefits applied in full, in lieu of a tuition-restricted scholarship, during their enrollment at the School of Law.

A student may elect to use a tuition-restricted scholarship awarded by the School of Law instead of tuition remission benefits; however, this request must be submitted in writing to the Law Financial Aid Office no later than 10 business days before the start of the applicable Fall or Spring academic term. Under no circumstances may tuition remission benefits and a tuition-restricted scholarship be combined within a single academic term to cover any portion of the cost of attendance at the School of Law.

This policy is designed to prevent the overlap of tuition-based funding and to promote fairness in the allocation of financial resources.

For further clarification or assistance, employees are encouraged to contact the Office of Human Resources at hr@sandiego.edu or the Law Financial Aid Office at lawaid@sandiego.edu.
