JD Application Fee Waiver Request Form

We know that the fees associated with applying to law school can be a significant barrier. Socioeconomic diversity is important to us, and we want to ensure that no one is dissuaded from applying because of our application fee.

We accept LSAC fee waivers—you do not need to request a separate waiver from us. We also grant need-based fee waivers very generously. Applying with a fee waiver will not delay or affect the consideration of your application in any way, and waivers may be granted for both the first-year and transfer application processes.

Please note that fee waivers will only be granted for the current or upcoming application cycle. It may take up to three business days to process your waiver request. To ensure your waiver request is processed before an application deadline, please submit your request accordingly.

This fee waiver is for applications to the JD program only. Individuals interested in Yale Law School's graduate degree programs (LLM, MSL, JSD) should contact the Graduate Programs Office.
