Application Forms

Application forms will be available in January, 2023

Only students who accepted their UofT Law school offers and are planning to attend in the upcoming year are eligible to apply for financial aid.  All others are encouraged to use the online Financial Aid Estimator to estimate their financial aid package.

The application forms are not saved, so students need to gather all of the required information before filling out the appropriate form.
