The 2023-2024 tuition and fees for the JD program are approximately: $17,528 per year for Canadian students and $57,180 per year for International students.
Tuition is assessed on a per-course basis. A full-time, first-year JD student will take 18 units per semester.
Non-JD students who register in a JD course, including those in a graduate program at UCalgary Law, must also pay the law program differential portion of the tuition.
The deadline to apply for scholarships, bursaries and awards is May 1, unless otherwise stated.
You are encouraged to apply for scholarships, awards and bursaries online. You can fill out one application form to be considered for all of the scholarships, awards and bursaries listed on the registrar site. If no application information is listed, the award is granted automatically by the Academic Status Committee based on the stated criteria.
We strongly encourage all students who have received an offer or are on the waitlist to apply for scholarships and bursaries on the My Financials page of your Student Centre. The deadline to apply is May 1.
Differential Tuition Bursaries (DTB) have a separate assessment process. The Student Awards and Financial Aid (SAFA) Office usually notifies successful DTB candidates by email in late August.
Applicants to the JD program are automatically considered for the UCalgary Law Entrance Awards of Excellence, which are awarded no later than March 31.
If you have questions regarding the awards application or process, please contact the Student Awards and Financial Aid (SAFA) office directly at ucawards@ucalgary.ca.
