SPIF Awards

SPIF awards are based on a student's current academic progress towards their JD,  whether they currently receive financial aid and if they have a child dependant.  These factors also determine the funding cap that is applied.  

  • Amount of Funding

    SPIF awards are based on students working  a minimum number of weeks over the course of the summer. The level of funding a student is eligible for is based on the years completed towards his/her JD, financial aid status and if the student has a child dependant.  

  • SPIF Funding Caps

    In order to ensure that the resources available for SPIF are distributed equitably among all SPIF recipients, a funding cap is used in the awarding process. 

  • Types of SPIF Awards

    SPIF is distributed as either a stipend or Federal Work Study.  Students should proceed with the expectation that they could receive either type of funding.
