Application checklist
- Apply to the Harvard Law School LL.M. programme (2027-28) before 1 December 2026
- Submit the financial aid application by the same 1 December deadline, even if you hold or seek outside funding
- Complete the Parent Financial Information Form (and the Spouse form if applicable) per the official instructions
- Note that aid decisions arrive after admission decisions, generally by end of March
- Plan for partial coverage: full-tuition grants are generally not provided
Application tips
- Admission and aid are separate processes, so an aid application cannot harm admission, but skipping it forfeits Harvard aid entirely.
- Because aid is need-based and generally partial, line up complementary funding rather than assuming full coverage.
- Even Fulbright or outside-funding seekers must file the Harvard aid application, so file it regardless.
