Inter American University of Puerto Rico-School of Law

What is the cost of studying for a year at Inter American University of Puerto Rico-School of Law?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, the School of Law reported the same full-time graduate tuition and required fees for in-state and out-of-state students. These published charges are a starting point, not a complete annual living budget or an individualized J.D. bill.

• Full-time graduate tuition: $15,600 for the academic year.
• Required full-time graduate fees: $970 for the academic year.
• Combined reported tuition and required fees: $16,570 for the academic year.
• Reported part-time graduate tuition: $650 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

Students also need to budget for books and legal research materials, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. A part-time student's total will depend on enrolled credits and applicable charges; the full-time figure should not simply be added to the per-credit rate. Ask the financial aid office for the current J.D. cost of attendance and the current tuition schedule before comparing borrowing needs. Graduate students generally do not qualify for Federal Pell Grants, but eligible students may use federal graduate loans; scholarships and qualifying military or veterans' benefits can change an individual's out-of-pocket cost.

What are the work-study opportunities at Inter American University of Puerto Rico-School of Law?

Student employment can help with expenses, but a job is not the same as a scholarship or a guaranteed part of a financial aid package. Eligible law students can ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are available to them in the current year and how to apply.

Federal Work-Study is need-based employment for eligible students with an applicable aid award; wages are earned through work rather than deducted automatically from tuition. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a Work-Study award. A clinic, internship, or other legal placement may offer valuable experience but may have different pay, credit, and eligibility rules. Students balancing work with law school should account for course and examination demands when deciding how many hours to take on.
