How much support does the Weigand Trust Scholarship provide?
Weigand Scholarships are the nation's largest legal education
scholarships. We provide for full tuition, fees, and books, and provide a
generous room and board allowance.
Back to Top
Are Weigand Scholars allowed to receive other grants or
scholarships and still retain the Weigand Trust Scholarship?
Since the Weigand Scholarships pay for 100% of books, tuition and
fees, no other scholarship is allowed for those purposes.
Additional scholarships for room and board are allowed only if they do
not exceed the maximum financial aid allowed, established by the school.

Will I be liable for taxes on the scholarship?
Receipt of the Weigand Scholarships represents no tax liability for the
students.

What are the chances of being awarded a scholarship?
Actually, they're much better than a national scholarship.
Since the Weigand Scholarships are awarded ONLY to long-term Kansas residents, the
potential total applicant base is no more than several hundred
applicants.
