Students with financial need from India will have support to earn a graduate law degree fromย Seattle University School of Lawโs highly regardedย Master of Laws (LLM) Program, thanks to a generous gift from the Satya and Rao Remala Family Foundation.
ย This program โ named the Remala Family Scholarship โ will provide a full-tuition scholarship to one Indian student each year so they can complete their degree.ย Theย scholarshipย is open to meritorious students who demonstrate financial need. In addition to tuition, the Remala Family Fellows will receive academic support and mentoring to ensure the best possible experience and opportunity for success.
ย โWe are proud to support Seattle University School of Lawโs efforts to build a bridge with India and its future law practitioners,โ saidย Rao Remala, who leads the foundation with his wife, Satya. โThe spirit of this scholarship aligns perfectly with our family foundationโs efforts to give aspiring Indian students access to first-rate higher education programs, so they can build better lives for themselves like I was able to do.โ
ย โThe Remala Family Scholarship will enable us to attract and teach the next generation of leaders in law from India,โ saidย Anthony E. Varona, dean of the law school.ย โThe Remala Family Fellows who receive these scholarships in the years to come will benefit from life-changing opportunities here at Seattle U Law to move their careers forward and benefit their communities. In addition, the presence of these outstanding scholars at Seattle University will enhance our intellectual life and deepen our engagement with India, the worldโs largest democracy.โ
ย Seattle U Lawโs LLM Program offers two options. A tech focused LLM in Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, enables lawyers and recent law graduates to develop specific expertise in a variety of legal areas, including privacy law, data and cybersecurity, Internet law and digital commerce, financial technology, and artificial intelligence. Also available is a general LLM in American Legal Studies, which serves foreign-trained lawyers and graduates of non-U.S. law schools who want to learn U.S. law and/or sit for qualifying exams to practice law in the United States.
ย โThe globalized nature of commerce and technology in India means that attorneys need experience handling cross-border legal issues. Students in Seattle U lawโs LLM Program gain valuable knowledge and training in these and other issues,โ said Sital Kalantry, associate dean of graduate studies and international programs and associate professor of law.
