LL.M Financial Information
University Financial Aid maintains an office in the Law School, in Room 110, phone (573) 882-1383 or (573) 882-7506. Office hours are posted. For financial aid other than departmental scholarships, students should contact that office.
Financial Support from the LL.M. Program
The LL.M. Program offers limited departmental financial support -- the Rankin M. Gibson LL.M. Scholarship and the LL.M. Fellowship. In general, LL.M. students with departmental financial support receive funding for one semester. For the 2009-2010 academic year, this would reduce the estimated total tuition and fees for a nonresident, full-time student from $23,768 to $15,654. For the total proposed tuition, fees, and other expenses, see http://law.missouri.edu/csdr/llm/expenses.html.
The application form for department funding explains the two different awards and provides instructions on how to apply. The Law School does not offer graduate teaching or graduate research assistantships.
Applicants can address funding questions to the LL.M. Program Coordinator at (573) 882-2020 or .
New York Summer Externship Fellowship
Each year, the LL.M. Program provides a substantial fellowship to cover expenses related to a summer externship with major organizations in the field such as the American Arbitration Association or the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution in New York City. This opportunity is available only to LL.M. students who do this for externship course credit. This program is available through the generosity of the Husch Blackwell Sanders LLP law firm in Kansas City, Missouri.
Financial Support for All Graduate Students
The MU Graduate School maintains a web site with additional financial support information.
