The Institute is offering financial aid to cover the full program fee for two eligible students, as well as a limited amount of financial assistance to cover a portion of the program fee for some qualified applicants. Please note that these scholarships do not cover expenses associated with room and board, as well as travel to and from the Law School campus in Philadelphia.
The applicants and level of aid to be awarded will be selected on the basis of two criteria: 1) a statement of need, and 2) the merit and background of the applicant as demonstrated through their online application.

Applicants requesting financial aid should submit a resume/CV and short statement of financial need, in PDF format, to GIHR@law.upenn.edu. In order to be fully considered, the statement of financial need should only be one or two paragraphs in length, note the desired level of aid (full or partial), and distinctly demonstrate the financial burden in covering the program fees and how you would cover the costs associated with travel to Philadelphia, as well as room and board during the program.

Questions about the program, financial aid, or the registration process can be directed to
