UC LLM program partners with German program to offer free tuition

Downtown Cincinnati.

The University of Cincinnati College of Law LLM program has partnered with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to offer students an incredible opportunity. Two students who have received a law degree in Germany and have been admitted to the LLM program will have the opportunity to be selected for free tuition provided by DAAD and UC Law.

DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) is the world’s largest funding organization for the international exchange of students and researchers. The organization serves as a scholarship database that supports more than 100,000 German and international students and researchers each year. On top of covering tuition for the LLM degree, the scholarship will include:

●      Round-trip transportation to the United States

●      Health insurance coverage

●      A stipend to assist with living expenses

 

Additionally, students who are awarded the scholarship will have the opportunity to be featured on the law school’s website and social media platforms. The tuition assistance program will be available for students beginning in the 2019–2020 school year.
