12:24
@Lawchick27: no scholarship. FAMU law is not know for giving out any scholarships really, but they’re pretty cheap so even at full price for tuition it wouldn’t be over $50k max for the whole degree in tuition
7:31
@Vinkevchi: oh wow thought they offer 10k scholarships if you score above 150.
14:25
I'm at 153 and they did not offer me anything @lawchick27
