Scholarship Opportunity for LLM at GWU: 25K scholarships for GWU Law School's Environmental LLM Program

Here's a message from  George Washington University Law School's Environmental Law LLM Program.  I am not quite certain, but the $25K scholarship is probably a tuition scholarship rather than a stipend that is directly paid to the student.

Please let your students know that GW has two $25,000 scholarships available for our 2013-2014 environmental LL.M. programs.  We have four environmentally-related concentrations:  Environmental Law, Energy and Environmental Law, International Environmental Law, and Environmental Law and Government Contracting.  Details of the programs and a list of available courses may be found on line.  The scholarships are available to any graduate of a United States (including Territories) law school.  Questions about our environmental law LL.M. programs can be directed to Stephanie Allgaier (sallgaier@law.gwu.edu), Director of U.S. LL.M. Admissions, or to me at lpaddock@law.gwu.edu.  Those interested in consideration for a scholarship must complete an on-line application for the GW LL.M. program.
