Financial Aid
Admitted LL.M. students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply for Federal Student Aid. Students may qualify for Federal Student Aid for the 24 credit hours required to obtain the LL.M. degree. Federal regulations will now permit students to borrow funds in excess of the total amount of the attendance budget. Visit the Texas Law Financial Aid Office for more information.
International LL.M. students must have sufficient funding to finance the full course of study through personal savings or external scholarships. Although international LL.M. students are ineligible to apply for Federal Student Aid, they may apply for private loans. Email LawFinAid@law.utexas.edu for questions.
Admitted students are automatically considered for internal scholarships, and a separate application is not required. Internal third-party scholarships offered by our scholarship partners exclusively for prospective, admitted, and current students require a separate application and have their own internal deadline. Visit the Scholarship Opportunities for more information.
Prospective and admitted international LL.M. students are encouraged to apply for financial aid and external scholarships from their home countries. The LL.M. Program has assembled a list of external scholarships that are country-specific and criteria-specific. Additionally, eduPASS and International Student Organization have compiled lists of scholarships for international students.

The University of Texas Board of Regents requires all international students in a F-1, F-2, J-1, or J-2 visa status to have health insurance coverage which complies with the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). For this reason, enrollment in the UT Student Health Insurance Plan is automatic at the time of registration, and the cost of the policy is included in the student’s tuition and fee bill. In certain cases, students holding comparable coverage may be eligible to waive enrollment in the UT Student Health Insurance Plan.
