Belmont University

Belmont University admits a moderately selective applicant pool — approximately 38% of applicants receive offers. While the LSAT remains important, the school's broader band of admitted scores means applicants near the median have a realistic pathway to admission when supported by a compelling overall application. Enrolled students posted LSAT scores from 158 at the 25th percentile to 163 at the 75th percentile, a typical 5-point spread that reflects a fairly defined applicant profile. This profile makes Belmont University a reasonable match school for applicants whose LSAT scores fall in the mid-range of the reported distribution.

Belmont University falls in the higher-cost tier for law school tuition. The full-time non-resident tuition is $55,500 per year plus $2,205 in required fees. Living costs off campus are estimated at $32,026 per year. Over three years, sticker-price costs at this school can exceed $166,500 before living and fees. Prospective students should investigate scholarship eligibility carefully, as even a partial award meaningfully reduces three-year net cost. Public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) and income-driven repayment (IDR) plans may also factor into the long-term financial calculus for graduates entering public interest or government roles.

Belmont University awards grant aid to 62% of full-time students. Among recipients, the median grant award is $40,710 per year, with a range from $27,140 to $54,280. While a moderate share of the enrolled class benefits from scholarship funding, applicants in the upper portion of the LSAT distribution are better positioned to negotiate merit awards. Prospective students should factor in the uncertainty around scholarship eligibility when projecting net cost and are encouraged to compare offers across peer institutions before committing.
