The California Scholars Program for AUA Graduates
Are you a California resident and interested in becoming a lawyer, but worried about the high cost? AUA is proud to announce an amazing opportunity for AUA degree holders to obtain substantial financial assistance to attend the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. If admitted, the financial assistance will fully cover the tuition plus provide $20,000 a year for living expenses. This program is an initiative introduced by Senator Anthony J. Portantino and is funded through the State of California.
Eligibility Criteria:
- AUA degree holders who have attended at least four semesters at AUA.
- Resident of California and/or applicants who have attended at least three years at, and have graduated from, a high school in California.
- Cumulate GPA of 3.2 or higher at the time of application to Hastings College of the Law (as calculated by LSAC).
- LSAT score of 155 or higher.
- Apply to UC Hastings College of the Law to begin studies in Fall 2022. More information about how to apply and deadlines will be provided in Fall 2021.
The cost of studying at AUA is a fraction of the average cost of tuition and fees of public and private four year universities in the United States. International applicants are also eligible to apply for international scholarships. To date, we have provided 100% of admitted applicants with some form of scholarship. For a detailed list of tuition costs, please visit admissions.aua.am/tuition.
International applicants must meet the same admission requirements. Please visit our Undergraduate Admissions and Graduate Admissions application requirement pages for detailed information about what those requirements are.
