Tuition and Fees

One Extraordinary Value

Our tuition is approximately half that of other schools in the region. What's more, good performance pays off: Rutgers Law has a tradition of awarding institutional scholarships to students in their second and third years. All this means that you can afford to make career choices that aren't determined by burdensome debt—and still enjoy the benefits of the Rutgers name on your diploma and résumé.

U.S. News & World Report ranked us 3rd among all law schools in the nation for lowest average debt and 2nd among public law schools (2023).  

Rutgers Law School is also dedicated to supporting our students with financing their legal education. We do this successfully through student loans, work-study employment, scholarships, grants, and repayment programs. Summer funding is also available for certain public interest work. And as a direct student loan institution, our Financial Aid Office will guide you through the process to make the costs of your legal education as manageable as possible.
