Reduced After Completion of Second Year:

*Of these four reductions, three of the students received an increase after their first year but a reduction after their second year that returned their award to its original amount. Consequently, these students show a percentage decrease of 0% from their intial award. The other student in this group experienced percentage decrease of 67.5%.
As the above table documents, on average, for the Law Classes of 2009-12, of the students receiving scholarship awards at enrollment, 10 had their awards reduced after the completion of their second year by an average amount of $7,505.00 with a median decrease of $2,750.00. 6 of these reductions were $5,000 or less, with a low value of $1,850 and a high value of $25,000. The $25,000 reduction represents our only scholarship revocation in the past five years.
Reduced after Completion of Both First and Second Year:
Furthermore, for the Law Classes of 2009-12, of the 18 people who had their scholarships reduced, only four of these students had their scholarships reduced after both their first and second year by an average amount of $14,881.25. The value of most of these reductions was less than $15,000 ($5,500, $5,500 and $11,500, respectively). The one reduction of $37,025 represents not only a reduction but also our only revocation of a scholarship award in the past five years.
