The website you think does not apply to you may lead you to websites of scholarships for which you may be eligible. For example, some websites in Section above—Scholarships for Persons With Disabilities—also list scholarships for persons without   disabilities.

  13. Websites of U.S. Law School LL.M. Programs. Many U.S. law schools offer LL.M. student scholarships, grants, or fellowships. Schools may advertise these opportunities on their websites, and may describe the application process. Some schools automatically consider all applicants or admitted students for these opportunities, whereas other schools will consider you only if you submit a separate application. Be certain to read carefully the websites of all schools that interest you to learn about any special financial arrangements they may make. Also be certain to ask those schools whether any scholarships or other financial awards may be available that the school does not advertise.

You can learn about LL.M. Scholarships from LL.M. program representatives at events such as the LSAC LL.M. Recruitment Forum, in New York (13 October 2012) (Held at the Hilton Hotel):
