Tuition & Financial Aid
Paying for Law School
The 果冻传媒麻豆社 College of Law has been named a Best Value Law School by preLaw Magazine. We offer one of the most affordable law programs in the nation with a strong return through career opportunities. Idaho residents can expect to pay less than half of what they would pay at most other schools – public or private – in the region.
Students from outside of Idaho can also qualify for in-state tuition in a variety of ways. Students from the 16 WICHE participating states and territories (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) are automatically eligible for in-state tuition through the Western Regional Graduate Program (). A limited number of in-state tuition waivers are also available for students from outside the WRGP footprint. Students can also qualify for after residing in Idaho for 12 months, making an education at Idaho Law even more affordable for out-of-state students.
