WHILE TUITION AND FEES POSITION CUNY LAW AS ONE OF THE MOST AFFORDABLE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN THE NATION, IT HAS HAD LIMITED FUNDS AND NEEDS TO INCREASE FUNDING AVAILABLE TO AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS, PUBLIC INTEREST SUMMER GRANTS, AND GRANTS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WHEN THEY ARE STUDYING FOR THE BAR EXAM.
