  • International Legal Studies Scholarship
    Thanks to the generosity of Pitt Law alumnus Todd S. Shenkin (LAW ‘94), an International Legal Studies Endowed Scholarship Fund has been established to support students with a demonstrated interest in international and comparative law. The scholarship is open to rising second- and third-year JD students as well as incoming LLM students. Applicants are evaluated on the following criteria: 1) a demonstrated interest in a legal career involving international and/or comparative law;2) meaningful engagement in activities that reflect a commitment to the rule of law on an international scale, such as extracurriculars, research, publications, moot court or arbitration competitions, internships, or relevant work experience; 3) strong academic performance, particularly as a student of Pitt Law; and 4) demonstrated financial need. Applications are due in the spring and can be obtained by contacting Marie Hamblett, Program Administrator.

    To encourage JD students to engage in international study, CILE offers travel funding for students pursuing study, research, or internships abroad. Funding is awarded in an amount from $500.00 to $1,500.00, depending upon need, merit, and the number of students selected for funding. Applications can be obtained by contacting Marie Hamblett, Program Administrator.
