Hi guys,

Background: I'm applying to a couple of the top 15 U.S. law schools for an LL.M and have also applied for a few scholarships from institutions in my country.

Questions:
1. If granted a scholarship from an institution in my country, would that be beneficial in the admission process? I.e. should I include this in my personal statement?

2. Would a scholarship grant disqualify me from fee waivers and financial support from law schools (some schools explicitly state this is not the case as they make separate decisions, but most do not say anything particular on this issue).

Many thanks for any light you can shed on this issue.

Cheers,

Ekalf

I don´t think it will affect your application. At University of San Diego School of Law (USD) they granted me merit scholarship as a foreign student even though they knew I had been granted scholarships from my home country.
