The law school of Yale University has been known—and this is rare in law schools—for giving out all aid based on need. On Thursday, it announced an expansion of a full-tuition scholarship to students from families who earn up to up to 200 percent of the federal poverty line.
This year, the scholarship was awarded to 51 students. Next year it will go to 80 to 90 students.
A Yale press release said, “The scholarship expansion comes several months after Yale Law School announced that it would no longer participate in the U.S. News & World Report law school rankings, citing flawed methodology that disincentivizes support for low-income students and need-based aid, among other concerns.”
