Aid Upon Admission
The Expanded Financial Aid Program
Financial Aid was previously only available beginning a student's second year. However, we are acutely aware of the financial hurdles to the dream of becoming an Atenean Lawyer. As such, in line with our commitment to forming leaders imbued with a burning passion for justice and the desire to serve the nation for the greater glory of God, we expanded the Financial Aid Program. In 2021, Ateneo de Manila School of Law launched the Freshman Financial Aid Program.
Through the Program, those admitted to the Law School are invited to apply for a full grant upon admission. The application period is from the date of admission to some time before the registration period. The Application requires a commitment to register and remain registered as a full-time student upon the award of the grant.
Successful applicants are persons with proven academic competence, integrity, and potential for success in Ateneo de Manila School of Law.
All first-year students, however, are eligible to apply during the regular cycle for a grant in the first and/or second semesters.
