Graduate funding at the Faculty of Law is modest, given the number and quality of students in our programs. We therefore strongly recommend that applicants secure their own funding from outside sources. Please visit our sister site Graduate Studies in Law: Financial support for information about various sources of funding. For competitive entrance scholarships, see below. Deadline to apply and complete the application for these fellowships: December 15.
