IIM-A gives green light to new pay scale

: Yale University, New Haven

In the Fall 2009 semester, which started last month, 10% of the 1307 students who joined the Yale community as first-years were non-US citizens from across the globe and 3% were US citizens schooled abroad. Yale meets 100% of a student’s demonstrated financial need for all four years of study, through grants (scholarship/gift aid) and student term-time employment (on-campus jobs starting at $11.50 US/hr). Yale’s financial aid assessment is purely need-based—no athletic or merit scholarships are awarded and the University has an estimated $95 million dedicated towards financial aid. As travel expenses can be quite costly, Yale also awards a vacation allowance to international students on financial aid, meaning that traveling home at least once a year is possible for students around the world.

University of Baltimore, Maryland

The University of Baltimore School of Law is accepting applications for masters of laws in the law of the United States (LLM LOTUS) programme. This nine-month degree programme is designed for law graduates who earned their first degree in law outside the US and seek to become familiar with American law and the legal system. Two tracks of study are offered—one is the “US practice track” composed of core legal subjects tested on state bar examinations. The other, “elective concentrations”, enables students to select courses in an area of specialisation offered by the School of Law. So far, students educated in 26 countries from across the globe have enrolled. Admission to the 2010-2011 LLM LOTUS programme is now open.
