The highly selective University of Arizona Law Dean’s Fellowship Program provides one of the nation’s best financial and career support packages for law students. It is reserved for applicants with exceptional academic records and will be of particular interest to those with research or teaching backgrounds.

The Dean’s Fellowship Benefits

• A $10,000 supplemental cash stipend distributed as $5,000 during your second year of study and $5,000 during your third year of study at University of Arizona Law
• A hand-picked faculty mentor
• Exclusive alumni and outreach events to develop your professional network
• Academic enrichment activities

Dean’s Fellows may also apply, during the spring semester of their first year, for:

• If selected as a BA in Law Graduate Fellow, the $13,000-per-year Graduate Fellowship stipend will replace the $5,000-per-year Dean's Fellowship stipend for your second and third years.
