*Conditional scholarship retention information
The ABA Standard 509 requires all schools with conditional scholarships to post a conditional scholarship retention chart. The ABA's definition of a conditional scholarship is: "any financial aid award, the retention of which is dependent upon the student maintaining a minimum grade point average or class standing, other than that ordinarily required to remain in good academic standing." Scholarships are not conditional at Berkeley Law. Renewal of scholarships requires only good academic standing and full-time enrollment at the UC Berkeley School of Law.
