Law School Cost of Attendance

Tuition and fees are combined with expected living expenses to create a standard cost of attendance. A cost of attendance is also referred to as a budget. A cost of attendance sets a limit on the amount of financial aid a student can receive in a given academic year. Financial aid includes merit-based aid, loans, outside scholarships, and federal work-study.

 * Tuition is charged on a per credit basis for all students.

The Widener Law Commonwealth Office of the Bursar administers tuition billing, bill pay, and refund processing. Access the Tuition Rate and Payment Guide at the Office of the Bursar sites.widener.edu page for in-depth information.  

Individual budgets may be altered to account for unusual or emergency situations that a student may encounter. These adjustments can only be made for expenses necessary for the student’s education. The student must fully document (provide copies of bills, etc.) a request for an increase in expenses.
