About this scholarship
LL.M. scholarships at UC Berkeley Law for 2027-28, with priority scholarship consideration for complete applications filed by 1 December 2026.
Minimum requirements
Admission to a UC Berkeley Law LL.M. programme. Priority scholarship consideration requires a complete application by the 1 December 2026 priority deadline; decisions are rolling.
Application checklist
- Confirm the LL.M. track you are applying to (traditional, executive two-summer, or executive remote + summer)
- Complete the application by 1 December 2026 for priority scholarship consideration and the fee waiver
- Note the track closes: 1 February 2027 (traditional), 15 March 2027 (executive two-summer), 16 November 2026 (executive remote + summer)
- International applicants requiring a visa for the executive track should apply by 15 February 2027
- Expect rolling decisions, with priority applicants decided by 15 January
Application tips
- The 1 December priority deadline does three things at once (earlier decision, scholarship priority, fee waiver), so missing it costs more than time.
- Rolling decisions mean a complete file beats a perfect-but-late file.
- Check which executive variant you are on: their deadlines differ by months.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
