by Hillary Rodham Clinton

Hillary Clinton funded her Yale Law School education through a mix of financial aid, student loans, and likely some earnings from part-time jobs. Clinton came from a middle-class family; her father was a small-business owner, and her mother was a homemaker, so she didn't have a significant family fortune to cover the costs. In the 1970s, law school tuition was lower than it is today, and many students from similar backgrounds could manage with a combination of federal financial aid, work-study programs, and loans. Additionally, being a top student may have made her eligible for scholarships. ]]>
