Tuition/Financial Aid
As part of the University of Illinois,the College of Law is a state-supported public institution. That meansIllinois taxpayers underwrite part of the operating costs of the Collegeto keep students' tuition costs as affordable as possible. (Incidentally,it was Abraham Lincoln who signed the Morrill Act, which provided for the original 37 public land-grant institutions, including theUniversity of Illinois.)
In addition, Champaign-Urbana is consistently ranked among the mostaffordable cities for its cost of living, so students' budgets buy morethan in an urban area. Admitted students may petition for residency inthe State of Illinois; residency is determined by the University's Office of Admissions and Records.
Overall, students graduate from Illinois with less debt and smallermonthly payments than at many other institutions. That translates intogreater financial flexibility and a wider range of career options.
