Intellectual Property Law and Policy Graduate Program
FINANCIAL AID
A limited amount of financial assistance is available to students in the
Graduate Program in Intellectual Property Law and Policy. To be eligible, a
student must show academic progress and be enrolled as a full-time student in
the LL.M. program. Applicants interested in financial assistance should submit a
letter to the Director of the Graduate Program in Intellectual Property Law and
policy requesting scholarship assistance. Because scholarship assistance is
awarded on an ongoing basis, students who wish to be considered for assistance
are encouraged to apply as early as possible, but no later than the time they
seek admission to the Graduate Program in Intellectual Property Law and Policy.
The standard educational loans are available for U.S. students through the University Financial Aid Office, 105 Schmitz Hall, Box 355880, Seattle, WA 98195; telephone number: (206) 543-6101; e-mail: osfa@u.washington.edu. Financial aid applications may be filed on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Additional inquiries may be directed to the Law School's financial aid office at uwlawaid@u.washington.edu.
Foreign students are advised to write to various foundations and organizations within their own country to inquire whether any scholarship or grant aid is available for studying outside of their country.
An excellent resource which may assist in your search for foreign study scholarship opportunities is Study Abroad, which is published every two years by UNESCO. Study Abroad describes all the United Nations and various intergovernmental agency scholarships available. There are over 500 pages of detailed descriptions of scholarships offered by each country of the world, either for its own citizens to study somewhere else, or for people from somewhere else to come and study there. This is followed by information on specific courses of study offered by the universities and institutes of each country, specifically designed for, or available to people from other countries. Study Abroad is available by mail from Unipub, P.O. Box 433, New York NY 10016; (212) 686-4707.
We also recommend a book, "Funding for United States Study" from the Institute of International Education. It is available for sale through Amazon.com. You may also find helpful information on the web site www.iefa.org.
