Financial Need

The LSAC waives its fees for applicants who are absolutely unable to pay for the LSAT and other essential applicant services. See LSAC Fee Waiver. If you have already received an LSAC Fee Waiver, you may email lawadm@hawaii.edu a copy of your letter and we will provide you with an application fee waiver code. You must receive the LSAC fee waiver before you transmit the electronic application through LSAC. We cannot refund application fees you have already paid.

Law School Application Fee Waiver

  • Graduates of a Hawai’i high school
  • Graduates (or soon to be) from a Hawai’i college or university (2- or 4-year)
