Currently, I am looking at reading for another LLM in a Tier 1 university in US but do not want to incur too much debt while attempting to do so. Accordingly, I am just wondering if anyone can advise as to which Tier 1 Law Schools are usually very generous with financial aid? Many thanks!

Most top 20 law schools in States offer scholarship, depending on your crendentials . And personally, since you obtained a LLM in AU already, why not do some research about these stuff on the top 20's websites ??

I will look into your suggestions but what percentage of financial aid should I be expecting on average? (I understand that it differs on an individual basis but is there a range that I should be expecting?). Thanks! Cheers Greg Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42092/last#42287 Most of the Tier I schools have disclosed information about scholarships availability on their websites; Usually, the Dean's scholarship is upto 15,000$. Leaving aside the top 20, you may also expect, subject of course to your credentials being upto their expectations, partial scholarship from several other Tier I schools like AU, SMU, CWRU, CARDOZO.etc. Besides, some of the Tier-I schools like Temple, SUNY Buffalo and U Conn have very low tuition as compared to others.
