Trial Lawyers College knows that some trial lawyers may not currently have the funds needed to attend training on the TLC Method. In true F-Warrior fashion, many TLC Alumni have graciously donated funds to assist. The goal is to assist those who are truly in need and to make sure all get an equal chance at receiving assistance whether it be providing full tuition, half tuition or lodging (if available).
Is financial assistance available?
YES!! Financial assistance is awarded based on need only and includes both interest-free monthly payment plans (2-3 different payments) and/or scholarships from our Scholarship Fund which is made up of contributions from fellow Alumni who chose to “pay it forward” to help others out until they can “pay it forward” for another student.
How do I apply for a scholarship and what is the deadline to apply?
Financial assistance should be requested at the time you submit your registration or application by selecting the ‘Registration – Request Financial Aid’. One the registration/application is completed in full, you will received a confirmation email notifying you that we received your request.
The TLC Course Assistance application process will include not just the typical questions but will also keep in line with the spirit of the TLC Method by asking for the applicant’s story. The application content will be kept confidential among the TLC Financial Assistance Committee and TLC administrative staff.
Similar to some grant processes, applicants for assistance must provide employment status and employer name for previous 12 months; city and state (or region) in which they practice; average monthly income (from all sources) over the past 12 months; a statement of why assistance is needed; and how much assistance is needed. Applications will be reviewed 40 days prior to the course’s start date so assistance may be provided in sufficient time to allow travel plans and to also stay within the course’s venue contractual obligations. There may be occasions where last-minute application approval(s) become available. Those will be addressed in as timely a fashion as possible. A financial assistance packages will be granted 40 days of receiving your final registration (or upon your acceptance of our invitation to attend the 3-week College). *Special arrangements will be made with students reporting less than $49,000 in annual income.
Will applying for financial assitance hurt my chance of being admitted to a course?
No. There is no disadvantage whatsoever in the registration process for financial aid applicants. Requests for financial aid are confidential and are not considered during the registration or application selection process.
How are the scholarships funded?
Due to the generosity of our Alumni who contribute to the Scholarship Fund, and TLC's commitment to ensure that no student's training is inhibited by cost, TLC's Administration Team will work with each student on an as-need basis for that individual course, striving to be fair and to assist as many students in need as possible. .
