Funding your LLM as an international student
Wed Nov 21, 2007 07:41 PM
Hi everyone,

I need to fund my LLM by applying for out-of-university sources.I have applied to Penn. However, as an international student, I have found such sources to be very few. Does anyone know of any sources international students could apply for? I also need to mention that I can't use any such sources in my country. Also, I don't have a co-signer in order to get loans. I can't apply for Fulbright here in my country either.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.
Nina

By the way, I know of the websites and links availabe here or on other websites. At the moment I have detailed information about three organizations, but I'm almost eligible to apply for one. Any names you mention could be of help.

Many thanks Nriattorney. I have been offered $20000 tuition waiver for my LLM at UPenn, but I still have problem with the tuition and living expenses. That's why I am looking for some-out-of-the university sources as an international student.
Do you know of any?

Thank you.

CONGRATS Nina for the offer you have received. I will keep a watch on "outside" funding and write you back in due course. CONGRATS again.
