Fee Waivers

LSAC Fee Waivers

The Law School Admission Council provides fee waivers for applicants with extreme financial need. For more information on eligibility and to apply, please go to http://www.lsac.org/JD/LSAT/fee-waivers.asp. The fee waiver will cover two LSATs (test dates must fall within the two-year waiver period); the CAS registration, which includes the letter of recommendation service and the electronic law school application service; four free LSDAS Law School Reports (available only after CAS registration is complete); and one free copy of the Official LSAT SuperPrep®.

If you receive an LSAC fee waiver, your application fee will automatically be waived when you apply to the UHLC JD program.  You do not need a coupon code; the fee waiver will trigger automatically.
