Tuition and Fees

Please note, if you do not subsequently complete the credit hours for which you initially register, you may be liable for the immediate repayment of loan funds to the lender. There are no scholarships or tuition waivers available through Tulane Law School for summer programs abroad.

Options for meeting the 5-hour minimum for financial aid:

Multiple Program Enrollment:
Students may enroll in multiple programs to receive more summer credit hours. Students receive a 15% discount for any second summer abroad program they enroll in (based on program dates).

Directed Research:
You may be eligible to earn 1-3 credits through directed research with your summer program director. You must receive credit approval from Academic Services at Tulane or your home institution and you will be required to write a 30-35 page law review quality paper. Please contact the summer program directors to further discuss this option.

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

TULANE STUDENTS:

Complete the summer 2023 addendum (available in Feb/Mar 2023) as soon as possible, but no later than June 9, 2023.>

Complete the appropriate loan application:
If you will be enrolled in at least 5 credit hours, complete the 2023-2024 Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
If you will be enrolled in less than 5 credit hours, apply for a private (non-federal) loan.

NON-TULANE STUDENTS:

• MUST submit, at least two weeks prior to the start of the program, a proof of enrollment letter from your current law school verifying that you are in good standing. We are unable to award credits for any course until we receive a letter of good standing from your institution.
• Contact the financial aid office at your home school to find out about their summer financial aid procedures and timeline.
• Your financial aid office will likely send our office a “consortium agreement.” A consortium agreement is a document completed by both Tulane and your home school, and includes the budget information for your program, so that your home school can determine what you can borrow.
• Requests for Consortium agreements should be emailed to finaid@law.tulane.edu

FINANCIAL AID STUDENT CHECKLIST

• Be aware of the disbursement timing and requirements to keep summer aid. In some cases, schools or lenders may not disburse loan proceeds until the start of the program you are attending.
• If you receive financial aid for courses which you do not complete, your loan may be canceled or your loan amount may be billed back to you and returned to your lender.
• Because of the early start dates for some of our summer programs abroad, it is likely that your loan proceeds will be unavailable in time for your departure. It is important that you have some other source of funds to "tide you over" until the loan proceeds become available to you.
• It is important that you make arrangements for someone to pay your bills at home while you are abroad so that your credit history is not blemished as a result of your absence.
• Even if you are receiving financial aid, finance charges will be incurred if payment is not received by the payment deadline. Although deposit billing is initially handled by the Academic Services Office at Tulane Law School, the Tulane University Accounts Receivable Office finalizes billing, and will assess finance charges for those registrants who have unpaid balances after payment deadlines have passed. The finance charge is less than 2% per month, assessed directly by the Accounts Receivable Office. Questions regarding your tuition bill should be directed to Accounts Receivable (504-865-5368 or 800-798-7633) or via e-mail (acctrec@tulane.edu).
