Scholarships: You got one?

I do not believe most law schools are less likely to accept you if you say you need a scholarship to attend. I received scholarships for both my JD and LLM (Georgetown), and both times the scholarships were given as an incentive to pick a certain school. From talking to a professor who was on the admission committee for my JD, the admission committee makes decisions without looking at financial need, and then a separate committee makes the scholarship decision.

Do you think schools are less likely to accept if you say you need a scholarship? And are they not able to give a scholarship if you don't say that in your applicatoin?

No, I don't think it's less likely you'll be accepted if you apply for financial aid. Generally, law schools point out in their web sites that their admissions process does not look into the financial status of the applicants until after they're admitted. Once admitted, that is when the schools determine how much financial aid will be granted.

If you don't apply for financial aid, you will naturally not be awarded any.
