Dean Charles H. King Scholars
The Dean Charles H. King Scholars Program is designed to enhance educational opportunities for high achievers by offering selected candidates a substantial scholarship to study the law at MSU Law. King Scholars receive merit-based scholarships covering 100 percent of tuition. This program provides a variety of intellectual challenges to King Scholars, who study jurisprudence and participate in professional, law-related activities for which academic credit is awarded. First-year students must have a competitive LSAT score and undergraduate grade point average to be considered for the King Fellowship.

Merit Scholarships
The Law College sponsors a number of full and partial merit-based scholarships for our top students. The Admissions Office uses a formula that scales the UGPA with the applicant's LSAT when considering eligibility for a Merit Scholarship.

Trustee Scholars
To show our commitment to diversity, the Law College awards a limited number of non-merit-based partial and/or full scholarships.
