This information applies to all conditional scholarships offered by Quinnipiac Law. Prior to Fall 2022 admissions, conditional scholarship renewals were based on ranking in the top 50% of the class. For students starting in Fall 2022, the renewal requirements changed to a 2.5 GPA. This new requirement allowed more students to retain their scholarship awards.

As defined by the American Bar Association (ABA), a conditional scholarship is any financial aid award, the retention of which is dependent upon the student maintaining a minimum grade point average or class standing, other than that ordinarily required to remain in good academic standing.
