This funding is administered by the Harvard University Committee on General Scholarships (CGS) (http://www.scholarship.harvard.edu/). These scholarships are awarded with income from Harvard endowment funds created as a result of gifts to the University to select students who meet specific eligibility criteria established by the original donors. They are separate and distinct from the need-based grants awarded by Harvard Law School via the HLS internal financial aid application process.

Please note that all of the funds available through the Harvard University Committee on General Scholarships available to HLS students are included in the application below. The Committee does administer a broader range of funds however some are targeted to students admitted/enrolled in other Harvard graduate schools or at Harvard College. HLS is bound by this predetermination and we can only nominate students for the funds included in the application.

We will reach out by email individually to scholarship applicants with the link to upload supporting documentation. Nominees who are selected to receive this funding will not be notified until after May 1st. Questions regarding funds administered by the Harvard University Committee on General Scholarships can be directed to Jimmy McCarron (jmccarron@law.harvard.edu).
