Does anyone have the faintest idea of where to serch for funding for an LL.M in Europe?
I have looked all over the web, and the only thing I can find in the masses of serch facilities is possible scholarships for international students wishing to study in the UK, or American students per se. I live in the UK and have the opportunity to study International Business Law at the Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam, subject to the ability to pay the fees.

This is an absolute dream to me, and so any useful advice or direction would be grately recieved. Please respond here, or e-mail directly: rob_ben.bee@btinternet.com

Thanks.

In a word "Palgrave" the directory of charity grants. Most major public libraries will have a recent copy of that tome. It lists tonnes of charities. I know people who made several applications to Palgrave listed charities-eg for one student it was £2000 here £2000 there, one depending on being a woman graduate Edinburgh University, another for being also Welsh-but as a result the charities funded a postgrad degree.

Two other approaches. Have you got a traineeship yet? Ask your firm to fund the LLM-too many potential LLM students don't realise that their firms will often (so long as you are doing something useful) happily fund a LLM-or at least give a contribution to funding. Second, consider a Career Development Loan-in essentially a state funded soft loan-it should be available for what you want-there could be a restriction on where you use it-but I would not have thought so.

Hope the above helps
