Have GULC issued scholarships yet (for international students-not the tax course)-it seems hard to find info on this but if some people already have received $ then I can stop hoping and start plan b!

not that i'm aware of. Even for non tax llms financial aid is usually handed in late feb - early march!

Should we do anything to be considered for FinAid? I was admitted for the Intl LLM but I am also a little lost on the scholarship (there is so little info...)

Thanks rbellaver- I will have to wait and see, at least there is a chance if decisions haven't been made yet!

Hey,

Last night I received a partial tuition scholarship of 10.000!

Will they notify us if we don't get anything?

Could the guys that received scholarship share some of their background with us?

Please!

Have someone heard back from Georgetown concerning the Graduate Tax Scholar Program?!

Hi guys.

I received an e-mail from Georgetown last Friday. I was awarded with the Graduate Tax Scholarship -- full (100%) tuition scholarship. I am very excited!

I am not sure if all the scholarships are handed out in the same day though..

Regards to all of you

Wow! That's awesome!! May I ask what your credentials are?

I also received the $10,000 scholarship (on February 25th, following my offer on January 29th). I have solid but not spectacular academic credentials. However, I went to very good schools and have very good work experience.

Sorry for the delay responding !

Unlike jamesb, I do not have a good work experience. When I applied, I had only three month of professional experience in a law firm.

However, I attended very good law schools in France and I have excellent academic credentials (ranked 1st, high honors, granted with merit-based and need-based scholarships each year, won 1st prize in a competition...).

Furthermore, when I received the official mail of admission, it was handwritten that my personal statement stood out from the rest. It may have contributed to the partial tuition scholarship.

Thanks - sorry for being so curious, but did you supply supplementary information to Georgetown for this financial aid?

I did not !

I emailed them, and they said they have already extended all available scholarships for Fall 2016. A huge deal breaker!

When I wrote to them on Monday, they informed me that scholarship decisions are still being sent and that they're being decided on a rolling basis.
If what you say is true then it's damn worrying.
