FAFSA-government financial aid program, apply for it!
Look through the scholarship/grant page in school web sites.
If possible, apply to all of them.What do you have to lose? I have heard of many experiences from friends and families applying for scholarships they were skeptical about on their qualifications but were chosen.
Search online.
One site I found was the Online Education Database, it gives you a list of law school scholarships ranging from $1,000/year to $15,000/year. Although the choices are limited, it doesn't hurt to skim through.
I found a website with a list of public schools that award the most financial aid: grad-schools.usnews
Example: University of Baltimore-Median grant: $22,136, 20.4% full-time students receiving grants
University of California-Berkeley-Median grant: $16,369, 62.3% full-time students receiving grants
Indiana University-Bloomington-Median grant: $14,420, 88.5% full-time students receiving grants
You can sort the list by specialty, ex. healthcare law, legal writing, intellectual property law, etc.
Even with scholarships you should budget your money. Scholarships should be received with a grateful and humble heart, they are saving you from loans and debts.
