Educational Benefits
Some Brandeis Law students may also be eligible for specific service-based benefits that assist with the cost of their education.
Military Benefits
The University of Louisville is dedicated to serving those who have served our nation in the armed forces by helping to connect them with educational support resources, including a range of military education benefits that may be available to eligible veterans or their family members. Awarded Gold status for 2024 by Military Friendly®, the University of Louisville participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program and assists students with processing both federal VA educational benefits and those through the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs. To discuss available benefits and other resources for students with military connections, please contact the Center for Military-Connected Students.
Tuition Remission
The University of Louisville offers limited tuition remission for eligible employees who enroll at UofL, including the JD program at Brandeis Law. Full-time employees are eligible to receive a tuition credit for up to two courses per semester, worth no more than 8 credit hours in total, while part-time employees are eligible to receive a tuition credit for one course per semester, worth no more than 4 credit hours. University fees, including those typically bundled with tuition, are not covered by tuition remission.
Because of the structure of the first-year JD curriculum, it would not be possible for tuition remission to fully cover the costs of either the Fall semester or Spring semester, even with the reduced first-year course load. Employees are reminded that the first year of law school is particularly time- and effort-intensive, and it may not be appropriate to maintain their current work schedule while enrolled.
Tuition remission for dependents applies only to a dependent's first undergraduate degree and therefore does not apply to the JD program at Brandeis Law. For more information, please visit the Human Resources website.
