Is there an LSAT cutoff for Howard merit aid?

Howard does not publish an official LSAT scholarship cutoff. The old version of this page claimed a 155 threshold; Howard’s current financial-aid policy does not support that rule.

What if you receive no scholarship?

Howard directs students with unmet need to financial-aid and loan options. Unmet need is the published cost of attendance minus scholarships and other available resources.

Can you ask Howard to reconsider?

If you believe a scholarship decision was made in error, Howard’s current page tells admitted students to contact the Office of Admissions.
