Forms: International Study Abroad Scholarship

To encourage law students to engage in international study, USD School of Law offers scholarships for students pursuing coursework, research, or internships abroad.

Students may submit this funding request for any international activity likely to enhance the student’s legal education. These may include internships with governmental, private or non-profit employers in foreign countries, USD-sponsored summer and semester study abroad programs, research projects in foreign countries under the direction of a USD or foreign faculty member or other supervised study abroad experience. All scholarship applications are reviewed by a committee and approval is based on financial need, academic merit and potential, and the value of the international experience to the student.
