Case Western Reserve University School of Law is committed to attracting and supporting talented and accomplished students from around the world. To help make an LLM education more accessible, we offer a number of generous merit-based scholarships to outstanding applicants.
Merit scholarships are awarded through a holistic review of each application. In evaluating candidates, we consider a range of factors, including English proficiency, academic achievement, professional experience, leadership, publications, career goals, and each applicant’s potential to contribute to the CWRU School of Law community. Applicants with strong credentials may be considered for substantial scholarship awards, if they can explain the steps that they have taken to fund their education.
To be considered for a merit scholarship, applicants must indicate their interest in scholarship consideration in their personal statement. In addition to addressing the topics outlined for the personal statement, applicants should describe their financial circumstances and explain the steps they have taken to secure funding from other sources.
Scholarship applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. For the best consideration, applicants are encouraged to apply early in each admissions cycle. Because earning an LLM from a US law school is a significant investment in your future, we strongly encourage applicants to explore additional sources of funding as they plan for their legal education.
Applicants from partner law schools are awarded scholarships in accordance with their institution’s partnership agreement with CWRU School of Law. If you have any questions about partner school scholarships, please contact your home institution or the Office of Global Legal Studies at llm-sjd@case.edu.
