This is a great question. When you apply to law school, you should definitely apply for scholarships at the law schools. When you receive acceptances from some of the schools you applied to, you may end up choosing a school based on a scholarship they offered you. It can be overwhelming to think about going into debt for law school, and there is nothing wrong with the amount of a scholarship being a factor in choosing a law school.

Student loans are a popular option. You can do federal loans or private loans.

One long term option to get law school paid for is that you can go to college for an engineering degree (4 years) and can get hired by a law firm to work on patents and intellectual property. Law firms will typically offer to pay for law school while you work for them. You can also go to college for a biology or chemistry-related degree. However, law firms will generally require that you have a PhD in these majors, so it is a longer route.
