S.J.D. Tuition, Scholarships and Grants
During the pre-candidacy residency period, S.J.D. students are assessed full-time S.J.D. tuition rates and fees per semester. Post-candidacy, and irrespective of residency, S.J.D. students remain enrolled but are assessed a lesser tuition rate. Please also see the section on S.J.D. Tuition and Expenses for additional information.
Please note that scholarship support and graduate assistantships are not available for students enrolled in the S.J.D. program at Penn State Dickinson Law.
The Office of Academic Affairs maintains grant funds in support of S.J.D. students and their professional advancement and scholarly research. Grant funds are intended to provide partial assistance to S.J.D. students to present results from their research at professional meetings and conferences. Grant funds may also be used to cover expenses related to primary data collection or field research. For more information, see S.J.D. Travel/Research Grant.
