In some instances, KU Law will grant a fee waiver to qualified applicants. Learn more about how to request a fee waiver to apply to KU Law.

LSAC Need-Based Fee Waiver Grantees
Candidates can apply to LSAC for need-based fee waivers. KU Law will grant a fee waiver to any candidate who qualifies for the LSAC waiver. For more information, visit LSAC.org.
Ask Your Pre-Law Advisor
Every year we provide a limited number of fee waivers to university and college pre-law advisors. If your pre-law advisor does not have a KU Law fee waiver, have them contact the Office of Admissions at admitlaw@ku.edu for a fee waiver.
Note: The fee waiver is a code similar to a website coupon code. To avoid paying the application fee, you must receive your fee waiver code before submitting your application. Please be advised we cannot award a fee waiver once the fee has been paid.
